Britain Since 1948

Links to QCA History Curriculum Unit 13
How life in Britain has changed since 1948

Children will groove to the sounds of the last sixty years, strut their funky stuff in original costume from the museum's collections. They will handle a wide variety of objects dating from 40's to the 90's and learn about changes in musical style, popular culture, fashion, lifestyles and technology throughout the post war decades.

Children will:

• Delve into time boxes to discover about different decades
  
• Make a small museum display of their objects
  
• Create an object timeline
  
• Take part in a music quiz with the Beatles, Wham! and Glen Miller
  
• Dress up in a variety of original costume including platform shoes, a hippy kafthan, a kipper tie and a Teddy Boy jacket
