THE evacuee experience became a reality for a group of children learning about the Second World War.
Thirty-one 10 and 11-year-olds from Chislehurst Primary School, School Road, Chislehurst, were taken to Blackheath to learn about life as an evacuee.
Real-life evacuees, along with actors playing doctors and teachers at the reminiscence centre, Age Exchange, Blackheath Village, Blackheath, helped them learn what being an evacuee was all about.
Teacher Sharman Steel said: "Giving them the experience really made them think about what was going on in those days.
"They had a great experience of how it was in the world."
Age Exchange is an organisation which brings different generations of people together to teach children about the past.
