On the 10th of February our class visited Summerlee Museum to take part in a WWII Homefront workshop. There were 4 suitcases hidden around the museum. They were: Make do and mend, Rationing, Evacuation and The Blitz. We found the experience fun and interesting, it gave us an idea of what it would be like living in Britain during WWII.

When we first entered Scotland Street we were divided into two groups: boys and girls to get changed into different clothes. After we changed we headed down the hall towards a classroom from the 1940’s where a man called Mr. Valentine was waiting to give us an idea of what school was like in WWII. Mr. Valentine showed us how hard life was back then and how there was always a chance of a German bombing. School work was also different. We had to use an ink pen and a really hard crayon. Some found it hard to sit still and pay attention wile others found it hard to write. We all enjoyed the experience and learned a lot from it.

This morning we went onto glow and went onto a picture website with world war 2 pictures on it. Then we downloaded pictures and went onto comic life to make a comic with those pictures in it. After that we exported them onto iphoto and then we exported them to the desktop and put them on glow.

For the last 4 weeks Golfhill has been surrounded by snow! Outside it looks like Narnia! We had 2 weeks off school. We went sledging, snowball fights, made snowmen and drank hot chocolate. Some of us stayed in and played PS3 and watched T.V.
