Killygarry evacuees

We have been learning about WW2 and how it affected children.
Many city children were sent to the countryside where it was quieter and safer.
They were only allowed a few items, so we decided to have a go at packing a pillowcase full of what we decided were essential!
James and Ryan are our first pair of evacuees, being sent to Dingle Co. Kerry.

 Today we are being evacuated to Dingle Kerry we are only allowed to bring 10 things.  I brought a pillow, swim togs, t-shirt, shorts, lynx ,$30, coat, Croke park tickets and American football jersey. I brought the pillow because it’s my favourite pillow. I brought the swim togs in case I go to a rich house. I brought lynx so that I don’t get stinky. I brought the rest for memories.

A pillow : to sleep on and so I wouldn’t have to sleep on the ground. A hoodie: to keep me warm and in case its cold and so I wouldn’t get wet.  I brought money because in case there is a shop and in case I have to buy clothes.  I brought a pair of trousers because it could be cold and wet.  I brought a photo of me because I will remember it if I have to stay there for a long time. I brought lynx in case I get smelly and dirty. I brought a can of beans in case I get hungry or I starve. I brought a jersey in case its warm. I brought a book in case I get bored. I brought a cap in case its hot and the sun gets into my eyes.  I brought sunglasses the sun gets into my eyes and the sun gets to strong.

Today I brought in stuff pretending I was a wartime evacuee. All of my stuff together weighed 7.5 kg. I brought in a board game, a bottle of water, an apple, some clothes, binoculars, a torch, some magazines and a pair of socks. We are all going off to Dingle. It all had to fit in a pillow case and it had to be under 10 kg. I really enjoyed collecting stuff and showing them to the school.

We were all reading about World War 2, when we started debating on what we could and could not bring if we’re World War 2 evacuees. Ms Wynne said next week we could bring in some stuff that we would bring with us if we’re World War 2 evacuees, but that it had to be less than 10kg! When it was my turn to bring in a few things I brought in.Pyjamas for bed. A can of sweetcorn because it takes 2 years for it to go out of date. Leggings to wear and if it’s cold during the night I can wear them as well. a copy to write to home with. A jumper encase its cold. A pen to write to my parents with. A t-shirt in case one day it’s warm. A spoon to eat my sweetcorn with. A tracksuit to keep me warm. A spare pair of shoes if my other ones wear out. Money for emergencies .toiletry bag with soap hand gel toilet roll plasters and lots more.
