Hi Christina & Museum Mum Just catching up with old emails & realised that I hadn't responded, sorry for the delay. With kids continuing to work at home, it seems there's still an appetite for more to help them do this. Whilst IWM's doors are shut and kids are learning at home, we're creating a series of videos for 7-12 year olds approx,'Adventures in History' Every Wednesday at 2pm we release a new film on the Adventures in History playlist <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLolzHiCNNbO--qp4zN6MgVSCqEsv8SDk3>on IWM's You Tube channel. We have drawn inspiration from the national curriculum and explore a wide range of subjects - from spies, submarines and life on the Home Front, to key historical events such as D-Day and VE Day. The VE Day film is out this week. Plus on Fridays we set a family “mission briefing” relating to the same theme. This is all on IWM's Twitter, Facebook as well as the website.
