We were asked to prepare a talk then perform it in front of the class. I did my talk on Air Raid

Shelters. Here are some pictures that I prepared for my talk.

Listen here to a recording of my talk.

Our class have done some animations on evacuees.Here are some pictures of us working on them.

I used a piece of cleaning cloth to make the mask. The nosepiece was made from the top half of a juice bottle. I made holes in the cloth, then I stuck cellophane over the top of the holes for eye holes. Then I stapled elastic on the cloth for the straps. The top of the bottle is the original filter. The top has holes in it. For Red Nose Day, you can even use your red nose as a filter for it!

We were making scenes from WW2 in drama. Here are some pictures.

I made my gas mask from cardboard, then cut three holes for the nose piece and the eyes, I put goggles in the eye holes,then put a tin in the other, I then covered it in sponge to make it softer and then drew funky designs on it.

My gas mask is made from a bottom of a pringle tube , milk bottle lids and a craft mask.

My gas mask is made from a balloon with papermashay then a tin cut into it .Then I used a card tube to make two eyes, after that I painted it and then I was done.

 Yesterday in drama, we were pretending to be evacuees from ww2. We all got into groups, and we all got a card for each group. Then we acted out a story, saying what it would be like during the war. After that, we wrote an evacuee’s letter.

Here are some pictures of what we did:

A couple of years ago Primary 7 pupils at our schools acted out a real evacuation.  You can watch the video of it and some interviews that they did by clicking this link.
