Remembering the Past - Learning for the future - Project
Project overview
Key stage 2 & 3 pupils will use the exhibitions at Dewsbury Museum and Red House Museum to gain an insight into the impact WWII had on children and families. By working directly with older residents they will have the opportunity to hear from evacuees, refugees and those who lived and worked in the area during WWII. By using drama, role play and producing art work and creative writing, pupils will have a unique opportunity to express their impressions of the past and how the war contributed to their future.
