Evacuated to Beaumanor Hall!

On Monday 4th February children in Mrs Lampkin/Mrs Shaw's and Miss Penrice's classes were evacuated to Beaumanor.  All the children were dressed in typical clothes and carried gas mask boxes.  They also had picnic lunches from the war years (definitely no chocolate or bananas!).

Activities included filling in their Identity Cards, planning a meal then shopping for ingredients and rations, listening on the radio for secret codes then decoding the messages, and experiencing what it would have been like during an air raid, (followed by some singing of popular war-time songs).
