On Tuesday we imagined what it would have been like during the Blitz.<\/p>\n

The small Poly tunnel had been turned into a pretend Anderson shelter (the inside was covered in tarp so you couldn\u2019t see out).<\/p>\n

In the classroom the air raid siren went off and we had 1 minute to grab any belongings.<\/p>\n

Then we had to run as fast as we could to the shelter.<\/p>\n

We had three groups: orange, blue and green. Each group had a small space we had to stay in.\u00a0 We stayed inside it for one hour and 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

We did activities in our groups and took notes on our work sheet.\u00a0 We looked at old photos, listened to music from WW2 and a recording of the blitz.\u00a0 We also had time to talk, read books and play games with our friends.<\/p>\n

We had some juice and biscuits! (Lots of biscuits!)<\/p>\n

It was fun but it made us realise how hard it would have been to stay in one for a long time every night with bombs going off.\u00a0 It would have been terrifying!<\/p>\n

Anderson shelters in the war were cold, damp and uncomfortable but they helped protect people and saved lots of lives.<\/p>\n
