Hugs and Tears and Parents Fears

Hugs and Tears and Parents Fears.

In Britain on the first of September[1939]hugs and tears were sherd as children everywere move to the countryside.

It was the day of evacuation.

Children have been evacuated by cars, trains, and boats and over 2500 children have been evacuated so far.

If children are under 3yrs old they are evacuated with their mum or teachers.

Most parents are sending their children on a train to the countryside.

Parents are telling their children that they are going on holiday and to take their gas mask with them at all times.

Also adults have to carry or wear their gas mask to avoid gas.

The goverment is calling it operation pied piper instead of evacuation.

The parents are being told to look away as the children leave the station to stop them from crying.

Dont worry every bodys going to be told what there doing as soon as possible.

Evacuation

CHILDREN SENT TO THE COUNTRY SIDE

On the first of January 1939 all of the children in the city are being evacuated due to heavy bombing.
The evacution of these children is called Operation Pied Piper. The people that are being evacuted are mostly children and teachers but some mothers and disabled people will be evacuted as well.

Michel Clark (10 year old boy who is being evacuted) had a interview with us and he said he is so upset because he had to leave his mum but his mum said it was for the best.

Women in War

Womens War Too!

As the day rose the hard working women set out for a difficult day of work.

Yesterday ,the British Prime Minister told British public on radio that women have to join the work force in order to keep Britain running .Women will be taking the place of British men while they are fighting to save the country.British women will be working as ambulance drivers , ship builders , mechanics, tank drivers, air raid wardens, engineers, plumbers,farmers and fire engine drivers.

Sarah Macmillan, a women worker ,gave an interview yesterday to the British radio. She said "I love doing my job and helping my country through this hard time." She also said that " I am not saying that its really easy I also have to raise my children as well as my work so its quite hard."

Also the Prime Minister said that women had to work until the war finishes. For this decision many woman got angry and wasn't pleased with their Prime Minister. They say that it's really unfair when some have more than three kids to look after.

BRIT'S ARE BLITZED!!

Artists impression of the British Blitz

BRIT'S ARE BLITZED!!

Last night at 7pm the Germans started bombing raids all over the country. They have targeted ports, factories and cities. The Germans are calling this barbaric bombing ' blitzkrieg '.

Just when we thought the war wasn't doing to badly, Hitler and his Nazis have ordered all German men over eighteen to work in the German air force, bombing Britain, targeting everything and sparing no-one. We got to talk to eyewitness Polly Parson , who watched the bombing come down on her neighbour's house,

" I was so frightened, I didn't even know what the bombs were at first. They just came down from the sky, like solid rain. It was extremely scary as I saw a bomb go off about twenty feet away, and my neighbour's house went up in flames."
It has been decided by the government that every home shall be supplied with kits for Anderson Shelters, which will help them hide from the bombing. These kits include corregated iron, poles and nails to hold up the structure.

It has been advised that every household should take their children, with food and blankets to their shelters, regardless of if there is bombing or not. So far twelve people have been killed and 49 injured; " It is devasting that the Germans are going ahead with such a dastardly plan but ther is nothing we can do but keep fighting", said the Prime Minister.

And he was right!

In the end there can only be one winner, and that is GREAT BRITAIN!
