Green Top School

We have all enjoyed a lovely trip to our local Methodist Church today. Where the children were asked to put themselves in the shoes of the children who were evacuated during WW2. They used some wonderful vocabulary to describe feelings which made me very proud! We also had a short introduction to one of our new class texts which shared the evacuation story of the main character, Lennie.

Ask them at home what they can remember about how the evacuation process worked or what they were allowed to take with them in their suitcase!

Here they are looking sad (on purpose) and working hard in some of the activities we asked them to take part it.

After a short introduction into WW2 evacuation and the usage and purpose of gas masks the children set to making their own with an ID lable too! These were then taken with us to the Church, so that experience could be a little bit more realistic for them! Great job guys!

We kicked started our day with a small but lovely activity to add to the immersion of our classroom. The children coloured wooden pegs and lolly sticks in camouflage patterns and colours to create quick and easy ww2 planes! The finished outcome looked amazing I can’t wait to get them all up in display!
