Evacuation cum VE Day celebrations

To round off our History topic 'We'll Meet Again', Year 4 were evacuated to different locations during the morning. Each group experienced a different reception at their host 'school', which we were able to share in the afternoon. All groups did some baking plus planned a menu for the day using rationed items 'bought' from a local shop using ration cards.

VE Day was celebrated in the afternoon. At the end of the afternoon, many parents and family came to our 'street party' to celebrate with us. Work was displayed, along with homework projects. The class also showed their WWII documentary films, made using 'movie maker' during our ICT lessons. The class dressed in role and looked superb. What a great way to finish our topic!

 

 

 

 

Year 4 Evacuation Day

It was time to turn back time in year 4 on Thursday 21st June. The class (and adults) came to school in '1940's' dress ready for Evacuation Day. During register the sirens sounded and we quickly went into the air raid shelter. We were horrified to see the bomb damage to the classroom when we returned. For our safetey we were evacuated to other classrooms. During our evacuation, we cooked with rations (thank you Mrs S!!) and painted war posters with watercolour.

In the afternoon, we held a VE party celebration in assembly, sharing the work we have done over the past half term.
