Event - Year 4 Get Evacuated

October 2009

As part of their History topic, in October 2009, Year 4 pupils were evacuated from Redditch for the day.

Everyone, including the teachers and parents wore 1940s clothes and set off from Kidderminster station on the steam train. It was a very realistic insight in to the realities of the evacuation of children during the war. They were shown many artefacts and told about the deprivations during the war.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and learnt a lot about the war period. However, all the children were pleased to be returning to the comforts of their normal lives in Redditch!
