To kick off our WW2 topic to a great start, the children in Year 6 packed a suitcase with all their formal documents and some personal items too and were ‘evacuated’ into the countryside. We made the long journey to a safer place and when we arrived some kind adults (and some not-so-kind adults) arrived to give us new homes. Some of us had a lovely time and were safe and cared for - others of us were made to work for our keep. We all wrote postcards home about our time. Air-raid sirens sounded during our lessons too and we had to climb under our tables to be safe!
