Pupils have been getting a taste of life as child evacuees during the Second World War, courtesy of Trowbridge Museum.
The museum has been running a workshop for primary school pupils to teach them about life on the Home Front in the 1940s, featuring speakers who experienced the war first hand.
Students from North Bradley Primary School attended the workshop last Friday and were kitted out in 1940s dress, complete with wooden gas mask boxes.
They then took part in a number of activities to recreate the period, including a question and answer session with an RAF veteran and a woman who was a child herself during the war.
Museum education officer David Birks said: “The children enjoy themselves immensely. Our speakers were around during the war and it brings it to life for them.”
