Pupil post - Carrie's War


This term we have been reading a piece of historical fiction by Nina Bawden. It is a book based on the experience's of children evacuated from London during World War 2.

Carrie and Nick (the main characters) are sent to Wales for their safety. They had to live with the kind-hearted Auntie Lou and the cruel Mr Evans. They met great friends like: Albert Sandwich, Johnny Gotobed (Gotobed - get the joke!) and Hebizbah Green.

How would you feel if you were evacuated?
Or if you left your parents in the Danger zone?
What are your thoughts about the book Carrie’s War?

WW2 artefact sketching

Trying to show where the light falls on gas masks.

The artefacts were positioned in the middle of the room and the
children moved around to view them from different positions.

Trying to capture the details on a World War 2 handkerchief.
