Today we did some drama about evacuation during WW2. We got into groups and acted out an evacuation role play. We finished off with still frames of the moment of parting. Here are some photos of what some of the groups did.

We were learning how to use animoto. Dylan used animoto to make this video showing some of the main events of World war 2.

Click here to see an excellent animation that William has done about the events that led up to the Outbreak of World war 2. He has several spelling mistakes to sort but we thought you should see it. Matthew C also made a good one that he uploaded to Glow from home. We will let you see it soon. Well done William and Matthew.

The feelings of an evacuee
September 1st 1939
Today, I can hear,
Children talk as loudly as a bomb exploding.
Today I can smell
a field like a beautiful garden of flowers.
Today,I can feel
the floor as cold as snow on a winters day.
Today I can see
People passing by like a rushing river, long and wide
Today Inside I feel
myself crying like a waterfall running down a cliff.
I am an evacuee in the train station waiting for someone to pick me!

Today I can hear
children crying like waterfalls pouring into the bay.
Today I can smell
foul smells like that of mouldy cheese.
Today I can feel
my stomach like a bowl full of wobbly jelly.
Today I can see
country houses as big as churches.
Today I feel as sad as a man facing the death penalty.
Now you know my story of pain and distress.

Today we have been working on how to write poems about what it would feel to have been an evacuee in world war 2 . Here is Cameron B’s poem
Waterworks flooding
Around my eyes
I’m not the only one
Who is starting to cry
A mixture of feelings
Lone and sad
And all around
I feel completely bad
I’m as lonely as a fish
At the bottom of the sea
And when picking
They ignore me
Manky, mucky scumbag
A man said to me
Then came a lady
Who asked me to come to tea
I’m finally an evacuee.
