World War Two

 This term Oaks have been learning about World War Two. We have pulling together our own World War Two projects to show people about the war. In the Oaks, we have put together a display board and we have gathered together some our family treasures from during the war e.g.: photos, identity cards, medals and artefacts. We also created our own propaganda leaflets from the war and displayed that on the wall too. We had a visitor to help us understand how to use propaganda and how to create our own.

Night Poems

In the Oaks we have been doing poems about night time. Everybody had great time and loved doing them. They were fantastic and we used spectacular words like conjuror and some words like this, a cruel beast and an evil magician.

The hardest part was… the first draft.  We had to think up verses to make sense with what we put as the first line of the verse.

We loved doing the poems and we would like to do more!

Sock it to me!

This term we have been learning about World War Two. One of the hardest things was rationing, nearly everything was rationed. A message came out: ‘Make Do and Mend.’ People often made their own toys so Oaks tried it! We made our own toys out of… guess what… SOCKS! There were bees, dolls, rabbits, dogs, cats, aliens and caterpillars. We had great fun making them with our families!
