Docklands at War- WWII Year 5

As part of our World War 2 topic, Year 5 visited the London Docklands Museum to see the Docklands at War exhibition. In doing this, the children were able to develop their learning through a hands-on approach. 

Seeing the artefacts was a fun experience for them. Exploring the Anderson and bomb shelters gave them a sense of how horrific life was during the Blitz. They were fascinated to learn about the destruction and damage caused to London's docks in World War 2. They also learned that the docks were the first target of the London Blitz.
