Today, History came to life for Year 6 who were lucky enough to meet an evacuee!
Kitty Baxter came to tell us all about her experiences as an evacuee in the Second World War. Kitty, who is Miss C’s mum, was a child during WW2 and was evacuated three times.
Kitty told us all about her life in World War Two and answered all of our many questions. We felt very privileged to hear her speak-it was mesmerising to hear Kitty tell us her fascinating story.
We sang our World War II songs that we had learnt for the assembly. Kitty knew all of the words to ‘White Cliffs of Dover’ and we had a good old-fashioned singsong together!
Thank you so much, Kitty, for such a special and memorable afternoon and also for giving us a signed copy of your book. It was such a wonderful experience and we learned so much from you.
I had such a great time meeting you all this afternoon and answering all your wonderful questions about my experiences of being an evacuee. It’s lovely to know that you are all so interested in that period of history. Thanks so much too for the sing-a-long. It really took me back in time. I hope you enjoy the rest of your WW2 topic.
Thank you so much Kitty I really enjoyed it. Thank you for telling us all about how it was like back then
