Making shelters

WALT- To understand what occurred during an air-raid and the Blitz.

Today, Jupiter class have been making Anderson shelters, we started with a normal box and we either covered it in tissue paper or painted it. We also painted some corrugated cardboard sliver and shaped it into a cylinder shape for our shelter. 

We now will decorate it and make it look more like a garden by adding crops and flowers. Inside of the shelter we will add: beds, chairs and things they would've had back in World War 2 with some other homely features. 

In the war they had different types of shelters, Morrison shelters, Anderson shelters and lots of people used underground tube stations for shelter because they would be more protected by it. 
Before this, we did some role play, experiencing what someone in a shelter would experience in the war. We also wrote down feelings people would've experienced in a shelter such as: frightened and petrified.

We are all excited to continue making these projects and we look forward to learning more about World War 2
