3H were evacuated to Barton-upon-Humber on Tuesday. Parents waved us on our way as we left the city of Doncaster with gas mask boxes, name cards and packed lunches in hand. On our arrival at Wilderspin School, we met our billeting officer – Naomi – who showed us where we would have to stay and told us what would be expected of us as a child in 1940’s Britain. She then gave us a stereotypical 1940’s school experience where we heard Princess Elizabeth’s speech to the nation during this difficult time.
Later, Ian taught us all about Churchill’s Cogs. It’s fair to stay that 3H didn’t realise quite how difficult life was for children during World War Two.
What a fabulous day!
