Start from the beginning of the day until the end of the day

Tom’s Diary

I had a great day… I was excited as soon as I got told that we were going to the Roman museum by Mum and Dad. It was fascinating to learn all about Romans. We got a map to see where we wanted to go but we let our feet lead the way.

We got to build our own tapestry on the wall out of small mosaic squares. There was also an artist’s impression of where the Romans walked on mosaics, I found that really interesting.

Near the back of the museum there was a wheel with the Roman alphabet on it, my name was DPV. By that time my whole family was starving so we stopped for lunch. It was lovely, we had burgers and chips.

It was nearly time to have a look at the other half of the museum but this time we decided to have our map. First of all we headed off to the Roman armour room where you got to see a model Roman soldier, dressed in golden armour with a shield and a sword. In the same room, behind the glass, there were necklaces and jewellery that had been found by archeologists. They seemed very fragile and delicate and if touched they would probably snap. It looked like it had taken ages to carve the patterns on to the real bronze.

To sum up, I had a lovely, eventful day!

Why were children evacuated?

People expected cities to be bombed, as enemy planes tried to destroy factories. But bombs would hit homes and schools too, so children would be in danger. The government tried at the start of the war to 'empty the cities' of children and mothers, This was 'evacuation', to protect them from air raids. The most effected cities were Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Coventry, Birmingham, Leicester, London, Bristol.

The plan was put into action in September 1939. About 800,000 children left their homes. However, many returned home after a few weeks. Others stayed in the countryside for the rest of the war.

How did evacuees travel?

An evacuation journey often began with a walk to school. Then it was off in buses to the station, where special trains were waiting. It was quite exciting, but most children felt sad as they waved goodbye to

their mothers and the steam train puffed away.

Every evacuee had a gas mask, food for the journey (such as sandwiches, apples, chocolate) and a small bag for washing things and clothes. Pinned to the children's coats were labels. On the label were each child's name, home address, school and where he or she was going. Often the journey took several hours.

Towns and villages in the countryside (Rural and Farming areas) would not be targeted by German bomber planes as much as

the cities – so children would be much safer living in the rural

areas.

London Bristol

Coventry Birmingham

Leeds Newcastle

(Cities) (Rural areas)

The areas in red on the map show the areas the German

bombers would target the most.

The areas in green on the map show the rural countryside areas where people would be safer from

bombing raids.

Mothers and children were evacuated to green areas.

Leicester Manchester

WALES

Liverpool

Children were evacuated from Hull as Hull was targeted

(10)

But the Evacuation happened so quickly that some children did not know where they

were being sent to.

Many children had never been separated from their parents and family before.

Many children’s parents had to stay in the cities to work and so the children were

evacuated on their own.

Imagine how it must feel to be told you were leaving your parents, you were going somewhere strange, you would be living in strangers’ houses with them, and that

you might not see your parents for up to a year.

Look at the children in this

picture.

They are being evacuated.

Their mothers are saying ‘Goodbye’

to them at the railway station.

The children are about to travel

on a train to a rural area to live

with strangers

How do you think they must feel?

(11)

On Arrival

The children arrived in the countryside, tired, hungry and uncertain whether they would ever see their families again.

When children arrived there were always lots of adults waiting. The adults would pick the children they wanted to come and live with them. Many children had to

wait a long time until they were picked by an adult.

Sometimes children would wait while all the other children were picked.

Brothers and sisters would be picked together mostly, but there were times when

brothers and sisters had to be split up and go to live with different families.

They might not see each other again for more than a year.

(12)

Some children were lucky and got to live with families who were kind to them

and lived in well furnished houses with bathrooms and toilets inside.

Some children were not so lucky and had to live in small cramped houses with no bathroom and only an outside toilet, and the people did not treat them in a loving way, like their own family.

What do you notice about these

houses that is different to our

homes today?

(13)

These photos show parts of a wartime house that an evacuee may have lived in with their host family.

What do you notice about the inside of this house?

(14)

Many children had never been into the countryside before.

They were shocked and excited at the huge areas of rural and farming land.

City children often wrote letters to their parents describing seeing animals such as cows and sheep for the first time.

What sights, smells and

sounds do you think would be new to these evacuees?

(15)

"^{Dear Mum,}

It Was so sad to see you stay. The journey was awful, Alice wet herself and she was sick all over me, But we saw cows in a field, it was fascinating. We were taken to the village hall where we were picked by adults, luckily me and Alice stayed together in the same house. We were picked by Mr and Mrs Kinsman, they're really strict. At school Mr Kinsman's my teacher, I have to spend a whole day with him. Alices teacher is realy nice he's called Mr Clark. I ruined my shoes in the pigs' pen and when Mr Kinsman found out he went bonkers.

We'll write back as soon as posible Edna“ ^{(aged 10)}

"Dear mother

I was sad to leave you at the station. We saw a meadow of horses. While the sun went down a nice lady told me where to go when we arrived there Then I got picked .Then we arrived at a farm. Mrs sharp told me where my room was she asked if I wanted a drink.

I helped her in the farm. My new school is very nice I have made new friends my teacher is nice too. I hope dad is safe in the war.

All my love Edward xxxxxxx“ ^{(aged 9)}

(16)

Many evacuee children went to live on farms. As well as going to school they had to help the farmers look after the farm animals and the fields. Many city children had the opportunity to do things they would never have been able to do in the city, such as: Feed, clean and ride horses Feed and milk cows.

Evacuee children would work in the farmers’ fields before school, after school and at weekends and holidays.

All year round they helped dig up potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, and turnips.

In summer they would pick fruit from the farmers’ fruit trees; apples, pears, plums and cherries. In autumn the children would help pick blackberries.

Rationing

Make notes from the

video about

rationing

(25)

Before the

Second World War began, Britain

imported about 55 million tons of food from many

different countries every year.

When war began in

September 1939 this importing was stopped because the ships were

being torpedoed by German

submarines.

There was a worry that this would lead to a shortage of food supplies in the

shops so rationing was introduced in January 1940.

Everyone was issued with a ration book

containing coupons that had to be

handed to the shop keeper when buying goods.

(26)

Bacon, butter and sugar were the first

foods to be rationed, followed by others

such as meat, eggs, cheese and milk.

Potatoes, fruit and fish were not rationed.

(27)

Scraps of food were kept to feed to pigs and

other animals.

Kitchen waste was kept in big bins and

collected to feed the animals.

Gardens and parks were used to grow

vegetables to eat at home.

Children were encouraged to get involved by digging and

planting seeds.

People were encouraged to grow their own food. The ‘dig for victory’

campaign asked every man,

woman and

child to keep an allotment.

To buy restricted

foods, people handed their ration book to the shop keeper. They removed the coupons and took the

appropriate amount of money.

(28)

Food rationing

lasted for 14 years in Britain.

Following the end of the war in

1945, rationing continued until ending in 1954.

To buy new clothes people used coupons as well as money.

Every person had a clothes ration book which allowed them one new outfit a

year.

Clothing rationing began in June 1941. There

was a shortage of cloth to make clothes so

people were encouraged to ‘make do and mend’.

(29)

Weekly rations for 1 family

Butter: 55g (2oz) Bacon and ham: 110g (4oz) Margarine: 110g (4oz) Sugar: 220g (8oz). Meat: To the value of 1s.2d (one
