=====================
This clip is from the BBC series Children of World War II. This compilation of three short films tells the story of the personal experience of three people who were children in World War II. Taking their young friend or relative - who is the same age as they were in the war - back to places that evoke memories of the 1940s, they describe their everyday life, the fears, excitement, and the experiences they faced.

=====================
Teaching History?

This clip could be combined with written sources and photographs relating to evacuees in order for pupils to complete an empathy activity. Pupils could be asked to try to think like an evacuee, using all three sources as stimuli, and then to create a drawing or letter home as if from an evacuated child. The outcome would be that pupils would emphasise some of the key aspects of evacuation from the evacuee's perspective.

This clip will be relevant for teaching History. This topic appears in KS2 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and Early/1st/2nd level in Scotland.
