London was bombed every day and night for 11 weeks. Over 350 bombs flew across the channel from France. Nearly 2,000 were killed or wounded on the first night. 32,000 people were killed and 87,000 were seriously injured by the end of the Blitz. Most of the attacks happened at night when people were fast asleep. People were warned by booming sirens. When people heard the sirens they made a break for shelter. Other cities and towns were also badly affected including Coventry, Liverpool, Southampton and Glasgow. In November 1940 one of the   most devastating and biggest air raids happened in Coventry over 4,000 homes were destroyed and 500 people were killed. People made shelters in their gardens to protect themselves and their families.<br \/>\nAaron and Caitlin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Primary 7 have been learning about The Blitz as part of their topic on World War 2.
