Primary 5 recently visited Bagenal's Castle in Newry to take part in a living history workshop as part of their work on World War 2. They explored the contents of an evacuee's suitcase and their measuring skills were put to the test when they had to estimate and measure a week's worth of rationed foods for a child during World War 2. They were taught the importance of how to 'mend and make do' during wartime and also practiced applying bandages to the injured. A fun and informative day was had by all!
