Following on with the theme WWII, the children found out about air raids and shelters. Today they built the anderson shelters they designed yesterday

| Using a table as shelter |
What new knowledge and skills have you gained working with Mrs Pound.
It certainly looks like you have all been very busy making your Anderson shelters. What did it feel like sat under your table, pretending to be in a shelter?
ReplyDeleteIt was abit squished under the table but it was really good fun doing the airraid shelters I found it fun when we went under table I wish you was there Mrs Warner but you was not there you missed all the fun of looking at us doing all of our anderson shelters I might try at homme to do a morrison shelter and hopefully take it in to so you it Mrs Warner our next homework can be about airraid shelters maybe we coulddraw one
DeleteIt was good doing the airraid shelters I toldy mum all about it
ReplyDeletei agree LukeA it was really fun but it took a while for me to finish it.
DeleteMaking the air raid shelters was hard but really fun.
ReplyDeletewe loved making the anderson shelters it was great the best bit was when mrs pound called us for the sirens we had to go under the tables as if they were shelters that bit was fun we hope we can do it again.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed yesterday I liked creating an air raid shelter,being under the table was a bit crampted though.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun day,can we do it agian?
ReplyDeleteIt was realy fun that lesson i didnt think the progects would be as good as they are
ReplyDeleteHello Year 4,
ReplyDeleteI think your shelters look brilliant. It must have been very frightening to have to hide in a shelter when bombers flew overhead. You would hear the sounds of sirens, planes, guns shooting at the planes and bombs falling. You would wonder if you would survive and if your home might be safe.
I like your idea of hiding under desks in an emergency. If you couldn't make it to a shelter, the desk would give you some protection.
Your wonderful designs had me thinking, what was it like to be in an air raid? I thought I'd write a short fictional story about a family's experience. Here is a link if you're interested...

Thank you for taking the time to write a short story about what it might have been like during an air raid. I really liked the use of audio to help the reader paint a picture. I will be challenging Year 4 children to write something similar.
DeleteAmazing, nice things you made. But why was the table a shelter? Why did you make them? I would like to do that one day.
DeleteWow, that sounds very hard but cool because you had to squeeze under your desk and do all your work there too!
ReplyDeleteI've done something like that too, in kindergarten I had to squeeze under my desk and do my work there too.
Did it hurt to squeeze under your desk and do work?
Was it difficult to squeeze under your desk and think?

I like your own shelters that you designed. When I was in kindergarden we made a chick farm and, we collected some hay from our school playground. When I was young I was creative I used to make that kind of stuff. Did you ever make stuff like shelters when you were young?
ReplyDeletewhay you are sitting under the table
