Year 6 - Take Shelter!

As part of our WWII topic, Year 6 have been learning about Anderson Shelters. These shelters were built and erected in gardens in order to protect people from the heavy bombing during WWII.
Year 6 have developed their designing skills and used a range of materials, including tissue, corrugated card and paints to create their own miniature Anderson Shelters. The finished products are really impressive and everyone approached the challenge with enthusiasm and creativity. Many of the shelters included sand bags, gardening tools and even vegetable patches. 'Dig for Victory!'
Our shelters are constructed to look beautiful but we don't think they are going to save any lives!
