World War 2

The London Blitz

In the first half-term we researched World War 2; We watched a film about life in London during the blitz and looked at a map of where the bombs fell in London and we found out that Laycock street was not bombed but many of the streets around Islington were.

This half-term we have been using minecraft to learn about how it felt to be in the London blitz in 1940.

We built a London street, we split into groups and each group made a house. When we had finished the scaffolding was removed and we finished off our houses before World War 2 started the experience as a London citizen during the Blitz was petrifying!

Our houses were being bombed and I tried to put out the fire as it grew bigger each second. I enjoyed the

experience I was able to become a firefighter like some of the woman from WW2 did it was very exciting.

Building my house took a lot of time I only managed to complete my bathroom and that was my shelter.

Overall the experience was lots of fun.
