Hear, see and feel history come to life
FREE learning resources
Our interactive activities and dynamic resources challenge children of all ages and abilities to independently interpret and reflect on our history through contemporary conversations. Empowering them to shape their own views around remembrance, the poppy and its legacy.

This year’s learning pack supports learners to consider what life would have been life for those who served during WW1 and WW2. What pressures were they facing to enlist? What was life like for those fortunate enough to return? Hear more about some of the men who faced this reality and found employment at Lady Haig’s Poppy Factory. Put yourself in their shoes and apply to work in the factory with our learning competition – Workers Wanted.
