Today we explored evacuation in our expeditionary learning, building on the knowledge we already had acquired during hook week. We imagined we were evacuees living in London and how we and our families would feel going on a journey we had no idea how it would end. We had to think carefully about the items we would be able to take and how to transport these. We concluded that our gas mask box and gas mask would be the most important items to ensure we were able to protect ourselves in case of a gas attack.
Our first task was to design a net for a gas mask box, we created miniature gas masks using clay. We thought about how we could make these attractive for younger children to wear, using bright colours. This will be our next task. Our designs are coming along lovely. Watch this space for the finished product.
