Lucy and Sophie's weekly round-up

On Wednesday last week, UKS2 had an evacuation day. The day kicked off with the parents coming to wave us good bye before we were lead by our teachers into the hall. Then, we had to stand in rows and were inspected by Mr Edwards, Mrs Gilder and Miss Fowler. They looked at our fingernails and hair and then told us if they wanted us to go with them.

 Miss Fowler’s group were making make do and mend bunting and eggless ration cakes.

Mr Edwards was teaching us how to polish our shoes, clean the windows with vinegar and polish the entire schools cutlery for lunch.

Mrs Williams and Mrs Gilder’s group were milking

cows, digging up a flower bed, designing a dig for victory garden and planting a winter lettuce.

Then we had a V.E party with the bunting, cakes and country dancing at the end of the day. It was really good fun!

Thank you for all the brilliant costumes!!!

Example of Lucy’s writing

The writing of the week:

Mum. That’s all I could think of whilst sitting on the train. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw little Jimmy bending over to be sick. Jimmy’s my brother. He’s only 5 and has a habit of picking his scabs until they scar. I don’t think any one will want him. A sea of pigtails, plaits and hats surrounded me. Suddenly, the train came to a halt. We were there.

P.E

Wednesday:

In P.E, we did some more country dancing. First, we danced to ‘Stripping the willow’ which was great fun! Then we tried a harder dance, which was called "the Gay-Gordons".

Thursday:

We were planning a piece of writing to do with who we admire. It could be someone famous. This was to help us learn to plan our writing in detail as if we were going to write it. They were really good!!!

History

Thursday:

We were learning about rationing in WW2. We had to put lots of different foods in one of three columns:  Rationed, not rationed or not available. Then, Mr Edwards made some hot chocolate that they had in the Navy. Some of us thought it was lovely, some disgusting!
