Box
Following last session’s successful
"War Detectives"
project, the Education Resource Service has allocated some of this Lottery
funding to purchase sets of replica artefacts related to this theme. These
resources have been sourced from various locations, including the
Imperial War Museum.
If you have already requested a project loan on this theme then you will
automatically receive a set.
If you are planning this project next session and would like to ensure that
you can borrow one of the ten sets, please let us know in advance. We hope
that you will find them useful in enhancing your work with the pupils, and
would be grateful for any comments on this new service.
The boxes will be loaned out for a term at a term.

Contents include:
Ration book, newspaper, evacuation label, posters, letters, diary extracts,
