Air Raid!

Today whilst sitting quietly checking out some new spellings an air raid siren suddenly went off!

Our only problem is it's 2012 and we don't have an air raid shelter!
We crawled under our desks and waited for the all clear siren.


We heard bombs, planes and fire. We think we counted 18 bombs being dropped in total. Some were louder than others. It was all pretty scary.

After gathering our thoughts we listened to some stories from people who survived the Blitz. We heard the story of a Lady who was in her house as a bomb landed on the roof, and about a small boy who saw 2 bombs drop near his house.

Take a listen:

And the lady who survived a bomb landing on her house:

We decided it was the time to build our own shelters....even if they are slightly miniature!

Come back soon to see our finished Anderson Shelters hidden in our model gardens!



PHHHEEEEW!!!! All Clear....
