RAF Hendon

October 04, 2019 by Ruth Thomas

Year 6 visited RAF Hendon yesterday as part of their World War Two topic. They learnt about the different planes and helicopters that were used during the war as well as seeing all sort of artefacts in the museum.

They spent some time in a 1930s classroom where they completed classroom activities peacefully until an air raid siren went off! They took cover underneath the tables and experienced what it may have been like to be a child living in London during World War Two. Children also learnt about how and why many children were evacuated from London (and other big cities) during the war for their safety.

Chestnut class worked hard last week finding out about the events of World War Two and when these important things happened. They worked collaboratively in groups to create a timeline of key events from the moment Germany invading Poland in 1939 to Japan’s surrender in 1945.

World War Two Drama

Chestnut Class were transported back to 1942 today when they found out what it may have been like to live in London during WW2. They sheltered from bombs as they heard the air raid siren and made their way to the nearest Anderson, Morrison or Public shelter.

They packed a suitcase with their most treasured belongings and began the long journey of an evacuee to safety.

Finally, they learnt and performed a war time song to boost their morale as they left.
