Year 3 have had a wonderful day learning all about World War 2 and Remembrance Day. We focused on the evacuation of children during the war, imagining what we might pack in our suitcase if we were evacuated.

We also wrote acrostic poems about remembrance and why it is important to remember the fallen soldiers.

We enjoyed our visit from Mr Clarkson who dressed in authentic WWII uniform and showed the children a range of artefacts which were used during the war, explaining their uses and how they differ from the equipment we have today.

Each child also wrote what peace means to them on a dove and these were used by the Year 3 TA’s to create the beautiful display in our shared area.
