Designed for small groups of highly motivated and inquiring children, this 1940s day promotes role-play and evidence-based investigation to get pupils excited about history.

Evidence forms the basis of this new day for the 1940s. It is ten days before D-Day and various abandoned documents, luggage and personal effects have been handed to the authorities. Some of these may be innocent, others point to something more sinister.

The overriding theme is that ‘the walls have ears’ and security, especially at this time, is paramount with the approaching landings on mainland Europe.

As part of the day the pupils will ‘interrogate’ the evidence and separate the innocent from the suspicious. In doing this, they may discover links between some items or characters, but will they discover the spies?

Details of this and further information about the day are included in a booklet which is sent out prior to a booking. All the History Off the Page providers are experienced teachers and storytellers who enjoy working with large groups of children. Generally there will be a story told during the day.
