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.

After Kitty had told us all about her life in World War Two and answered lots of our questions, we sang her a World War II song that we had learnt for the assembly. Kitty knew all of the words to ‘We’ll meet again’ and we had a good old-fashioned singsong together!

Thank you so much to Kitty for coming to talk to us today. It was such a fascinating experience and we learned so much from you.
