Air raid wardens, ration books and a range of wartime artefacts were among the many topics in the air when more than 250 school children from around Kent came to Dover Museum to learn about life during World War 2 for two special festival days.
Adults and pupils dressed 1940s style and learned all about life during wartime at the special festival events on Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 March. South Kent College students were on hand to style hair in fashions of the time and a range of activities took place over the two days, including a drama workshop, a talk and artefact handling session, an art workshop, the chance to draw wartime objects and the opportunity to explore Dover Museum.
Kim Norton, Education Officer, said: "Festival days at the Museum are a great way to bring history into context for today's children. The World War 2 festival was another success, allowing pupils to interact with the exhibits and learn about life in the past."
