VE Day in Team CW

This week Team CW's learning has been about VE Day, which is the end of the war in Europe. They know this is not the end of WW2 and that is in August as the war was still continuing in the Far East.

They listened to some air raid sirens and discussed what it was like to live in the war. They know that cities and some towns weren't safe to live in in case aeroplanes dropped bombs on the houses so children had to be evacuated to the countryside. Rainbows said they would miss their parents and were shocked when they learnt that they probably couldn't speak to them on a phone and would have to write them a letter. They were also shocked to learn that food had to be rationed and sweets weren't available like they are today. They learnt that clothes had to be mended when they had holes and were not thrown away like they are today. They looked at photos of Anderson and Morrison shelters and talked about what they thought it would be like to go through experiences like they did in the 1940's.

They very much enjoyed the whole school celebration on the field with biscuits and juice and took part in duck duck goose with their friends.
