The Blitz



Its only just begun!








German bombers have started to rome Britain and bombing major cities. The bombing started at 4:56 pm. Adolf Hitler believes that by bombing us we will surrender... But he is wrong!
Julie Roberts said that "this is the most frightening thing that's ever happened to me , but I no there is worst to come. My house was bombed but lucky enough i was in my Anderson shelter." "When that night of bombing ended my next door neighbours were rushed to hospital because a bomb landed right on there house .A few days before they had a baby,two days after they were rushed to hospital because they passed out."
Nevile Chamberlain is trying to get parents to evacuate their children immediately to save alot of lives. His target is to save 3,000 lives that's as big as 7 transport ships. Already people are complaining because they want their children to be evacuated as soon as possible.
The bombings started again today at 5:00pm. When the siren went off everybody was just running around. We are getting information from our sources and people are running people over,people are walking off bridges and driving off cliffs. This has happened because everyone is being blacked out.


The R.A.F are trying to plot an attack on Berlin to fight back and not be the country that looks like we are weak!

Heading to the Countryside


Yesterday, thousands of children surged towards Paddington station as they awaited their train to safety. As the Goverment commanded the children had to go to the Countryside to keep safe from the horrendous bombing and to receive a good education.

Lots of children were very frightened to leave their families. We interviewed a girl who has been through a dreadful time, she escaped from her house as it was getting bombed! Her name is Rose.
Rose had been sitting in a Anderson shelter playing around when she heard a crash, she looked outside and saw her house and realised that her mother was still in the house she was very sad because the loss of her mother!
"I can't believe my mum has been killed during this war and now I have to leave my Grandma. I am not looking forward to living in the countryside."
We hope the evacuees stay safe and have a happy life in the future.
The evacuees will return to us as healthy as a well tall growing tree.

Rationing

Rules On Rationing
Today on 17th september , rationing is being introduced due to all the heavy bombs being dropped on shops , markets and ports.

Well in the shops in London we can only have 1 food token per family, also we can only go into one shop , we have a book called a rationing coupon with the tokens inside.
Rationing has caused alot of trouble in London , and has not given enough people the amount of food they need. People in large families only get given what two people would only get given a week! , large families should be given the amount of food they need a week.


It has been announced that Neville Chamberline cannot do anything about it as rationing will have to be in place untill further notice.
Neville Chamberline ( The Prime Minister ) has a big concern with rationing and he wants rationing to stay on because their is not enough food or clothes in Britain. Ports are not being bombed as much as they was so rationing might stop soon.
Reece and Josh think differntly we think rationing is going to go on untill the war is over , because food isnt the only thing rationed it is clothes as well and Americans are rationing aswell.

Evacuation






COUNTRYSIDE CRISIS !!!!!!!



The government are encouraging families to have thier children evacuated to the countryside in order to keep them safe. The children were evacated at 1:00pm yesterday.
A young girl called Samantha, an evacuee herself, has told us that she was frightened like a mouse chasing a cat. The things she eye witnessed were the fears in the parents eyes of them leaving their childern waving goodbye, some crying some happy.

Half of the children came back , because Germany didn't start bombing Britain, the other half have decided to stay,because they didn't want their parents to worry about them.

IS FOOD COMING TO AN END ....?


More rationing tokens are being released!!!

Today rationing has got even worse in Britain that food stores and clothing stores are going out of bussiness, but there is also good news more rationing tokens are being released on the 6th October.

As the food stores go out of bussiness more rationing tokens are released. We interviewed Tina Grey a mother with 4 children who also runs a food store on her own with 4 children , but on the other side Tina is very happy she said,
" We are very greatful for more rationing tokens as my children can receive more food."

Tina Grey is also greatful for more clothing tokens as she can buy her children more clothes she said,

" I am very cheerful that i can buy more clothes for my children and myself,right now my children have 2 sets of clothes each and they are being past down from my oldest to the youngest."

Tina's store is now full of people again she thanks the government and is thinking of opening a clothing store even though she doesn't have a lot of money she said

" Im thinking about opening another store even though I don't have enough money,but on the other side if I open a clothing store I'm going to get more money."

Loads of other families are trying to survive like this and are finding itdifficult.We do not know when rationing is going to stop


We hope rationing stops soon for families to have as much food as they like .


Remember if you do not have a rationing book then your not going to get any food.

























Women at War - Y






WOMEN LEFT BEHIND,DAY AND NIGHT!


GOVERNMENT FORCE STRONG WOMEN TO WORK AS ONE




7,000 women have been requested by the Government to leave thier homes immediatly to set off to work, as our men fight for our country during this time, women are needed in order to keep the British trade industry running.



Yesterday Sarah Mucmillain, a 50 year old woman witnessed that the Government are forcing woman to work and it was all a lie that all the woman wanted to work, now if they don't work there will be serious punishments that there has never been before.




Women are getting paid £2.15 a week as they are skilled by working as TANK DRIVERS, PLUMBERS, MECHANICS, SHIP BUILDERS, NURSES, AIR RAID WARDENS,

ENGINEERS, FIRE ENGINE DRIVERS AND WORKING IN FARMS.





Women had to wear LEATHER BUTTON JACKETS, BLACK TIGHTS, SKIRTS, SHIRTS AND DUNGEREES, BOOTS AND POUCHES.


No one knows what is coming next but as you can see through out this whole report, the Government won't change their mind quickly.
