Year 4L Evacuee Day

On Monday 3rd July, Year 4 held an Evacuee Day in school filled with immersive activities and lessons centred around the experiences of an evacuee child of the sae age in London at the start of World War Two. The children were tasked with packing only essential items into bags and suitcases for their evacuation. This linked back to our learning of characters David and Tucky from the wonderful historical fiction Friend or Foe by Michael Murpurgo. The children analysed different accounts of the war and listened to rea life stories of evacuees on video. They made creative links by creating graphite art illustrations of the book and making Mrs Aver's delicious bread and butter pudding recipe.
