World War Two Loan Box

The artefacts and teaching resources in this box are designed to complement QCA History KS2 Unit 9: What was it like for children in the Second World War?

Handling, observing and asking questions about these artefacts will help students decide what we can learn about the effects of the Second World War on children in the local area.
