World War 2 Day

Year 3 have had a fantastic day today! We had a World War 2 Day and lots of children came in dressed as evacuees, complete with gas mask boxes and name labels.

Have a look at our fashion parade:



We started the day by going on a 'train' to the countryside, and then being picked by our new families.



Then we went to our 1940's classrooms (complete with blackboard and chalk) to write postcards home to our loved ones. We followed this by playing a traditional game of 'Beetle Drive'.



Finally, after a good old-fashioned sing song, we had our tea dance. Lots of parents came to join the fun, and one or two even took to the dance floor for either a jitterbug or a waltz. We tasted some food made with rationed ingredients and finished the dance with an air raid siren (we all hid under the tables to take shelter!).



We all had a lovely day and we would like to thank all the parents who came to join the fun and also those who provided a tasty rationing recipe for the children to try. We would also like to thank all the staff who made this day possible.
