They participated in various activities relating to life on the home front. They took cover in an Anderson shelter during an 'air raid', carried out household duties in a WW2 parlour, made rag rugs and played classic Wartime games such as beetle drive, tiddliwinks and marbles. To keep their spirits up the children sang wartime songs on the train home.
