Evacuee Day Y6

Published: 25 Sep '25

Year 6 took on the roles of evacuees in our Evacuee Day. The children dressed the part, complete with cases and gas masks, and were given their name labels (actual evacuees who were evacuated during WW2 from Peckham to Pulborough). The children headed to the train station to the sounds of an original air raid siren, via the church to look at the Commonwealth war graves, of which we have three. They also inspected the pill box on the edge of Park Mount . It was a brilliant morning for our children to learn about our village and its history.Â
