Year 3 Bring History to Life Arriving at school on Wednesday morning, Year 3 left 2013 behind, finding themselves back in 1939

and in a country gripped by the Second

World War. After receiving a le(er from

Neville Chamberlain, telling the children

they were to be evacuated as their part of

the ‘war effort’, they left their classrooms

behind. With gas masks and identity tags

hanging off their coats, the evacuees

experienced the same journey 800,000

children made in the early weeks of the war.

After boarding the train to the countryside,

they found themselves on Epsom Downs,

hearing stories of children being ‘billeted’ to

new homes. Our evacuees looked fantastic in

their costumes, behaving impeccably through-

out the day. Thanks to the parent helpers who

came dressed in role, making the day one to

remember! SH

Art Competition to Win House Points We are running a competition for the children to create a piece of art work to represent our new houses whose emblems

are : Dragons for Red House, Pegasus for White House, Phoenix for Blue House and

Griffin for Yellow House.

Artwork can be in the form of

a pencil drawing

a painting

a collage

photos

sculpture

model

or any other creative idea!

We may well use ideas from the entries to inspire designs/pictures to represent each house.

There will be house points up for grabs for entries so why not give it go and earn points for your house at the same time.

Deadline for entries Monday 21st October 2013 (see last week’s TT for more info).
