Mind you, if it is a really good den, any horrible weather should stay out! Use whatever materials you can to ensure you can comfortably sit inside and that it will stay up. Once you are happy with your den structure, it is going to double for the purposes of drama, as an air raid shelter. (don’t worry, you don’t have to build it out of corrugated iron cover it with turf)See if you can convince your family to create a likely scene from a night in an air raid shelter in WWII. You can write a script to follow or improvise. (make it up as you go along) Think about who the characters will be and the sorts of things people would do to while away the time – games, singing, reading, eating, storytelling, chatting, arguing, storytelling……………MusicIf you want to have a singalong, inside your den, try, ‘Run Rabbit Run’ or some other popular wartime songs.

Read the deign brief carefully. -50800195580DESIGN A ONE PLANET PICNIC POCKET GARDEN. opp-pocket-garden-comp-guide-2021-low-res-final101220.pdf ()00DESIGN A ONE PLANET PICNIC POCKET GARDEN. opp-pocket-garden-comp-guide-2021-low-res-final101220.pdf ()“One Planet Picnic A One Planet Picnic is a picnic that is good for you and also good for the planet. That means using local and seasonal ingredients, organic and ethically sourced produce as well as reducing waste. There are lots of edible plants that grow very well in Scotland. Growing your own food is a great way to get local, seasonal produce. There are more edible plants than you find in the shops. Some flowers are edible too! What would you like to grow and eat?”This ties in well with our WWII work and covers experiences and outcomes in TECHNOLOGIES, SOCIAL STUDIES, SCIENCE and ART AND DESIGN. As you know, with rationing, people were very much encouraged to grow their own food and many people grew plants on and around their Anderson Shelters to make good use of all the available space. Flowers too, cheered people up and encouraged wildlife into people’s gardens. The idea is to design a small garden, measuring only 100cm x 120cm. It can be any shape you want but must fit into a rectangle of that size. a a previous winner ................
