WW2 Evacuee Trip

We had the most wonderful time on our trip yesterday.

We were transported back to 1940 where the children were evacuated. 

We met some fascinating people who told us stories of their experiences as evacuee children. We went to a school and met a war time teacher who showed us lots of interesting artifacts, we even got to dress up!

The air raid was rather loud, we had to hide in a shelter where we heard the sounds of enemy planes above, it was a brilliant way of trying to help us understand what it would have been like for children living through an air raid.

Then it was time to catch our train! We enjoyed singing songs and even saw a German spy! Luckily Mr Forrester and Mr Warren were there to catch her and save the day!

We finished the by attempting to fill a bucket with water using a wartime pump and hose, it was really hard work!

NSPCC Childhood Day

  Yesterday, we completed our mile for the NSPCC Childhood Day. It was rather hot!  This was us at the start. We took our water bottles and walked around the course, that Mr T had set up for us and chatted as we went. We had to complete the course four times to ensure we walked the total distance of one mile.  And that is us at the end of the mile as we were heading back to the classroom.

Cultural Day

  Apologies for the late upload of this one, it got lost in the last day of term.  We had a lovely day learning about Germany.  We made some flags, learned about what school is like in Germany and how to say numbers 1-10 in German.  Filip did some amazing research about German flags and brought it in to show us.  Unfortunately the photographs are not uploading correctly at the moment.
