Seaside Journeys

Subject: History

Age Group: KS1

Region: London/Greater London, West Midlands

With the aid of a suitcase and a puppet companion named George, your children are taken on a time-travelling tour of seasides’ of the past.

It’s a session filled with holiday fun as the group explore how holidays and pastimes have changed with an imaginary journey to seaside holiday destinations through the last century. They’ll meet Punch and Judy in 1910, learn what holidays meant during wartime in the 1940s, explore seaside activities in 1950s, and take a trip to the Butlins summer camps of the 1970s.

The children were engaged right from the start and loved the interaction of the whole session. They couldn’t stop talking about it afterwards! Great way to hook the kids in and get them enthusiastic about the subject they are getting ready to learn.
