Year 5 - Writing Stay & Learn

Firstly we wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the parents, carers and family members who attended the writing session today.

The focus was on our current History and Writing focus of WW2 and evcauation poetry.

The class teachers started the session by asking the class how they felt during the evacuation experience. There was a combination of emotions and feelings shared based on if they were chosen or  who they were chosen by:

Mrs Clements- A kind lady with a large house, who wanted to give children the upbringing they deserved,

Mrs Johnston- A local nurse, who lived in a small house and wanted to nurse children back to health or

Mrs Pike- A housekeeper for the local farm, who wanted strong children to do manual labour on the farm.





Throughout the WW2 Literacy unit the children had each written a letter home to their parents during the 'evacuation', which they then got the opportunity to share with the class and the family members that attended.




Lastly, the children shared their WW2 and evacuation-themed poems with their talk partners and family members.
