WWII Workshop
for primary schools
Lady Penelope Bug and her Housekeeper, Dorothy Doodle, present an entertaining, interactive show for KS1 and KS2 which gives an insight into life in London during WWII.
The children are given the opportunity to learn about evacuation, gas masks, the blitz, morale, salvage, the blackout, rations and war work. This is all done with the use of props, song and witty dialogue, plus a question and answer session at the end. It is a visual, interactive and hands on experience for the children who are encouraged to think about certain aspects of life during WWII and are given the opportunity to handle props and answer questions.
The show is adapted according to each area of London to allow for a little local knowledge with regard to events of WWII.
