Every year, we wave goodbye to our World War 2 evacuees (Year 6 pupils) as they are evacuated to the Lincolnsfield Centre in Bushey, near Watford.
During the evacuation visit, the pupils are immersed in life as it would have been between 1939 - 1945.
They get to experience: life as a child at that time - the sleeping facilities, the chamber pot, the chores, the rationing, 'Digging for Victory', riding on Dodge Weapons Carrier, the 'Blitz', finding safety in Morrison and Anderson Shelters, codebreaking, the land army, handling military artefacts and memorabilia, schooling, forming a chain gang to put out a fire and, much, much more...
Macbeth is a tragic play about a play upon a brave warrior called Macbeth. As Year 6, we completed a workshop based on the play and then performed the play after just two days of studying. It was an amazing experience which helped build up our confidence. We were proud of all we achieved and some of us even unlocked some hidden acting abilities. We performed in for of our parents and cannot wait to complete more work on Macbeth in class.
What a fantastic experience for Year 6!
