Evacuee hot-seating24 March 2025 (by admin) |
Children in Inventors and Pioneers put themselves in the shoes of an evacuee this week and thought carefully about what life would be like during WW2.
In preparation for their next piece of writing, the children considered how it would have felt to have been evacuated and sent away from their homes during the war. They considered how they would have experienced a range of emotions and how, despite the fact that they may have felt sad or homesick, they may not have wanted to worry their families and would have tried to be as positive and optimistic as possible!
The children worked in small groups, with one child pretending to be an evacuee and the others 'interviewing' them to ask about their experiences. It was lovely to see the compassion and thought our amazing Y5/6 children put into their responses and how they had really carefully considered each step of the journey - from leaving home to arriving in the countryside.
Amazing work everyone - well done!
