Being an evacuee for the day…

In Crew MI, we came to school dressed up as evacuees and participated in a range of exciting activities. First, we learnt about the blitz. We watched clips and listened to sound effects to imagine what it was like during this awful time. We even had a go at working in mini crews to create our own Anderson Shelters. Next, we learnt what evacuation was and why some children were evacuated to the safety of the countryside. We then became evacuees ourselves and packed our suitcases with what we thought we needed, decorated our train ticket and then got on the train waving goodbye to our families. Overall, we had a great day and learnt so many more interesting facts about life in WW2.
