This workpack is designed as an aid for you in the classroom, both with academic and practical work.

We have tried to cover some of the most prominent issues of the topic, and these have been grouped into the following sections:

  TIMELINES   LIFE IN THE 1930's  

  NOTABLE PEOPLE  THE HOME GUARD

  THE HOME FRONT  EVACUATION

  RATIONING  AIR RAIDS

  CONSCRIPTION   LIFE AS A SOLDIER

  EXERCISES & ACTIVITIES   DOWNLOADABLE WORKSHEETS

We’ve included some ideas for exercises and activities in each section but don’t feel that you need to follow just these ideas - treat them as a starting point for your own, and the childrens, development of the themes in the play.
