# History Van visit

   24 June 2022   [Teacher blog](https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/author/teacher)   [Class of 2022](https://dowsonprimary.com/blog/category/class-of-2022)

Today, Year 6 had a visit from the History Van.

The children thought they were arriving in school in 2022 this morning but in fact, they were taken back in time to 1940 and it was in the middle of WW2.

The children learnt lots of new things about:

\- Anderson Shelters,

\- German codes,

\- Morse codes,

\- Evacuees - including what they could pack and what the host families were looking for and the role the evacuees had (such as farmers)

\- Wash day

It was a really informative day and the children had fun learning lots of new facts.
