Evacuee Postcards

We have been learning about evacuation in World War 2. In one of our theme lessons we had to imagine we were an evacuee who had been sent away from our home to live in the country.

Huey and Pure Pure wrote postcards that were very like the postcards sent by real evacuees in 1940. Well done Huey and Pure Pure!

Huey's postcard












Dear Mum and Dad,

I feel so sad to be here. In the train I was so upset. When I got there I smell a horrible smell from the pigs. The children that live on the farm take me to a little bedroom. In the night I hear the sound of a little mouse. I want to go home. Can you take me home please?

Miss you, Huey.

Dear Mum and Dad,

I feel sad and I want to go home. When will you come to get me? In the train I saw a lot of children playing but I'm a little bit scared because I don't know any of the children. My new family is good people. I live in a big house. I have a garden, pigs and a horse. My new family take me to a bedroom. It is good and I have a little bed, some toys and some books. They are kind with me. I am very sad being away from home and I very much want you to take me home.

Goodbye, from Pure Pure.
