blackouts

• Blackouts occurred so they wouldn't get bombed by the Germans because they couldn't see them.
  
• A blackout was when you cover up your windows so no light gets through.

• Even policemen stole stuff from your house when you were in your Anderson shelter.

GAS MASKS

• Gas masks were issued by the government in case of gas attacks by Germans.

my first blog- World War 2

Hello! This is my first blog! At the moment P7 are doing World War 2. We have been finding out about evacuation. In drama we have been acting out being a family where the children have had to be evacuated. We have also been learning about gas masks and how to use them and wrote instructions for them. We watched 'When the Wind Blows.' we did research on the countries that Germany invaded.
