We have been making our own gas masks in p7 for our WWII topic. They were made out of card and we also coloured them black and grey. We discovered that everybody had to carry them around with them, even children. At school the pupils used to practise gas mask drills so they weren’t frightened. There were Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck ones for younger children.

Good job P7! It must have been very frightening for children having to wear them for real!
