Evacuees

Well, it's that time of the week again... Chat room time.  This week we are following on from our theme in both History and Big Write. We have been looking at various evacuee stories and experiences, trying to develop our empathy with those experiencing the trauma of this experience.  I would like you to watch the following youtube link and comment on ...

What would it have been like to have been involved in the evacuation of children during World War II?
What have the lessons over the past few days taught you about evacuation?

Having looked at conversations over the past few weeks, this week I would like you to try and develop your answers into fuller more detailed reasons and explanations.

Enjoy chatting

  6. I think it would be terrifying because you don't know how long you are going to be away for, you don't know who you are going to stay with and you don't know if they will be nice to you or if they will be horrible.

    The lessons have taught me that the children didn't just stay away for a month or two they stayed away for up to four years i have also learnt that the children wore tags.
