Getting Ready for War

The topic for school this term is Britain and Ourselves.  Key Stage 2 are focusing on World War 2, and in particular, the home front and the effect of the war on children.
Having heard Nevile Chamberlain's declaration of war against Germany on the radio, Year 5/6 began preparations.

Some of the children concentrated their efforts on getting the blackouts up before the air raid warden started his rounds.    

 
Others began making gas masks and gas mask boxes.

Any group went outside with Miss Dempsey and began preparing the ground for our Anderson Shelter.  They soon realised this was going to be much harder than they thought.!

There is still much work to be done,so i had better sign off for today.
