When my nan was evacuated, she was evacuated to Maidstone in Kent. The whole school went with her and their teachers. She was 9 and her brother was 6. Their host family were sort of nice. One lady was very religious and every Sunday my nan had to stand in the sqaure and sing. My nan had to clean out the chickens and serve the food! The worst bit of the war she said was being away for so long - and the school was bombed so they had to go to a new school three miles away and had to walk. She said that her mum came to see them every 2 or 3 weeks. Her dad was abroad in the army. She was evacuated for 3 years and they were in the air raid shelter every night. When she was 11 she was running to the shelter one time with her brother, they both got in and a bomb went off in the house and her mum was blown to the shelter.

Hi Daniel. I really enjoyed reading the memories of nan during the war. We are very lucky that it hasn't happened to us. I hope you all enjoyed your World War Day...it looked great fun and was a brilliant idea.

Hi Daniel
What a lovely story about Nan. I'm going to take her a copy on Sunday. I'm sure she'll enjoy reading it.
Hi Daniel. You managed to remember everything that Little Big Nan had told us about WW2. It was an amazing story and I am sure she is proud that it has taken her 80 years to become famous!
Hi Daniel, Grandpa and I were very surprised to see a picture of Big Nan on your school Blog and it was lovely to read what you had written about her memories of the war.
I found that very intresting.It was just amazing i never get to read something like that.It was brilliant
Hi Daniel,
That story was really intresting and finaly i have heard that somebody was evacuated because nobody that came to world war 2 day was evacuated.
I was a shame your nan could not come to world war 2 day because it would have been really intresting.
Hi Daniel I think your really brave to put all that stuff about your nan on the class blog thank you for letting people know about your nans experience of living through WW2 and her getting evacuated!!!!
