# Year 6 - We're being bombed!

### Wow!  What a morning!  When we first arrived in school, we had to crawl under a camouflage net and avoid the bombing in London.  Every time the air raid siren went off, we carried out our ‘drill’, hiding under the tables to take shelter!

### During the rest of the morning, we imagined how we would feel if we had to experience that ourselves and created ration books, gas mask boxes, National ID cards and labels, in preparation for evacuation to the countryside.
