Jamie's Anderson air-raid shelter

For the past 2 weeks our homework has been to make an air-raid shelter. I found it really fun. These are the materials I used:

• One cereal box
• One big cardboard box
• One quarter of the big box's top
• Green and brown colouring pencils
• Super glue

It was great fun Mrs Collin was really pleased with all of them.

Nicolas's Andersons bomb shelter

This year Y5 have been learning about WW2. We have been making Anderson bomb shelters

these are the materials for my shelter:

straw
paper

super glue
shoe box lid
kitchen roll

First cut straw then glue it in between two pieces of paper. Do the same with front and back of it and cut a door and stick with tape. Then super glue to shoe lid.

I am very proud of my work and it took me 3 days to make my bomb shelter.
Here is my bomb shelter

Lucie's Anderson Air-raid Shelter

For the past few weeks we have been learning about WW2 and for our homework we had to make a Anderson air-raid shelter. It was really fun making it. First I made shelter by folding some cardboard. Then I put tin-foil over the cardboard to make it look like metal. Next I put in some soil and then I stuck some tin-foil to the bottom of the base of the shelter so I could stick green paper over it so it would look like grass.

Anderson Air-raid shelter

For the last two weeks for our homework we had to make a anderson air-raid shelter.

This is how I made mine first I got a cardboard box and cut a strip out of the carboard box. Then I got a bit of cloth and cut a square and stuck it in the door way. Next I stuck some brown tissue paper and I crushed up some green tissue paper and put it on top. Then I started to do the garden the last thing I had to do was stick it on the garden. And that is how I made my shelter.

Scott's anderson air raid-shelter

For our homework we had to make an Anderson shelter. We had two weeks to make it and I made it with wire and paper mache and green paint. What I did was I made a base with wire then I put paper mache over it and then when it dried I had to paint it green.

When I started I did not know anything about Anderson shelter but now I know a lot about Anderson shelters I made a good shelter but in my opinion everyones shelter is brilliant. When we were making them we had to make a plan as well and we had to bring it in as well because our teacher wanted to see our plan.

Daniel's Anderson Air Raid Shelter

In year 5 this term we are learning about WW 2. For home work we had to make an Anderson air raid shelter. We had to plan our air raid shelter then build one! I looked on the Internet for some pictures and then I asked my dad for ideas.

I used cardboard to to make the air raid shelter then I used paper mache to make a bomb hole and my dad got some twigs for me to stick onto some polystyrene to make trees. Then we got some stones to make rubble. Lastly I made a bed and book. Then I painted it all green and black and I spray painted the air raid shelter silver.

a big piece of cardboard for the base.
some paper mache painted brown for the earth, mud and the soil.
two pieces of polystyrene and covered them in paper mache then painted it green and covered it in green crape paper.

Inside I put..

a flimsy curtain to go around the chamber pot.

Faisal's Anderson bomb shelter

My name is Faisal and this is how I made my Anderson bomb shelter.


first I cut a shoe box lid and any other piece of card I didn't need for my Anderson bomb shelter with scissors.


Next Iput holes in pieces of card and put toothpicks through them.


To make the bed I did just that but I cut a piece of sponge to make bedding and a piece of cloth to make a blanket.


I made a table just the same and put four toothpicks through the holes I pierced.


I also made a extra fire place.

Christopher's Air Raid Shelter!!!!!

For the past two weeks I have made my own Air Raid shelter! I had to look up what they had to bring with them. Then I had to see what they looked like. I planned and got my things to make it. In my opinion I could of put the shelter in the middle of the garden. I think the animals went well and the grass as you can see on the picture. My favourite bit was when I put the animals on and most of it was fun. I really enjoyed the whole thing.

Chloe's Anderson Shelter

Over the past 2 weeks we have been making our very own Anderson Air Raid Shelters for home learning. We researched all about them and then made them into a plan. After that we got down to making our fantastic shelters. Everyone came up with loads of great ideas to put with their shelters. Some people put vegetable patches and clothing lines and some people did small farms.

All the shelters looked amazing and very realistic, especially the fact they had a proper surrounding area. My favourite would have to be Alanah's because she put the house, animals, plants, vegetable patch, clothes line, wheelbarrow and lots more! Alanah would have to be very proud because I bet everyone agrees with me!

I made my Anderson shelter very carefully, with a small amount of limited help! Anyway, I made it by taking recycled objects and making them to my plan. I cut out things like trees and bushes and stuck them onto a piece of large cardboard. After making the main structure I painted it. As you can see the shelter was painted a metallic silver/gray, and my trees and bushes a green that i mixed with two or three colours. I had a great time making it and seeing all the other peoples shelters that they brought in.

I enjoyed evaluating mine and Alanah's shelter and I hope everyone had a fun time making them!

Tom's Anderson Air Raid Shelter!!

The last two weeks, I have been and the whole of year 5 have been making Air Raid shelters. In my point of view I think every one's Air Raid shelters are better than MINE!!!!! Or maybe I am just being modest. Anyway here's a picture of my Air Raid shelter. Really its just made out of cardboard and paper!

Billy's air raid shelter

I made my air raid shelter by

• making a Lego wall



• Lego bushes



• Lego stones



• Lego people



• a shoe box for the shelter



• and brown tissue paper for soil

When I was making it I really enjoyed it.

The year 4s looked at our air raid shelters and lots of them liked mine.

Making air raid shelters are more fun than it looks so if you dont like making things make an air raid shelter.

Luke's Anderson Shelter

I used all these materials to make my Anderson shelter.

• thin cardboard
  


• thick cardboard

• corrugated cardboard
  
• a twig


• brown paint
  
• black paint
  
• green paint
  
• glue gun or strong glue
  
• grey paint
  
• white paint

This is how i made it, First i got two thick peices of cardboard and stuck them together and that makes the base.

Then I made a template and cut it out and my dad used his glue gun to stick it down (get a responsible adult to do this).

Then I cut out a thin oblong with a curve on the top not a straight edge.

After get two thick peices of cardboard about 1cm wide and stick them down with glue with one edge up to the template and the back peice of the shelter (one on each side).

Then get a thin peice of cardboard and stick it with glue at the two sides and at the top of the shelter.

Next you will need to make a garden wall out of four pieces of thick cardboard,stick two together then stick the other two together, get some thin cardboard and cut it into strips the same size as the wall then stick one on one of the walls and the other on the other.

Now stick one wall on the left side of the base and one on the back of the base. Then do the same but make them lower and stick them on the other two sides they will be the ground level.

Now you will need to put paper mache in the base apart from in front of the door so that no edges on the shelter show.

Anderson shelter spectacular!

Over the past two weeks for home learning we made some fantastic air raid shelters. I took up the whole two weeks given but the end product was worth the time! I really enjoyed doing mine and looking at other shelters my fellow classmates had made. My favourite of all time was Chloe's because she had so much detail and she even made a bench to go inside although everything was excellent! Over all they all looked so realistic and cool, I hope they all go on display so everyone can look and see how amazing they all are!

I made mine with geat care. I spent a while doing my plan and I enjoyed doing the evaluation at school afterwards!

I used loads of cardboard, besides all the plasticine and cocktail sticks! I only used ordinary house hold items which is a form of recycling old junk! I used fake grass, rosemary, soil, twigs from my garden and heaps of paint!

It was so much fun doing it because I love doing junk modelling and is a fun way to recycle, not just putting it in a big box and it being taken away!

Love

Alanah!

Our Anderson Air Raid Shelters

For the past two weeks for our homework we have been making Anderson Air Raid Shelters.

We have all worked very hard on them and today we brought them in to show everyone.Everyone was amazed at how great they are! Anderson Air Raid Shelters were used in world war 2 to protect people from the bombs. They had to be covered with at least 15 inches of mud/soil.

If you did not have a garden to put one in you would have a Morrison Shelter which was under your table and had a cloth on top.

Tomorrow we will take some pictures of them and put them on the blog for you to look at.

Wartime Rationing

During 1939 - 1945 (otherwise known as world war two) there were a lot of shortages in lots of everyday items. People would use coupons to obtain clothes and food. This was called rationing.

In other words supplies came more and more hard to get in the local shops. Clothes were in desperate needs within time. Women went far to receive clothing. Some used to draw on clothes so they look like everyone else. To do this they stained their legs with tea and used eyeliner at the back as the seams. We found out some recipes, here is just one of them:

Woolton pie

Ingredients:

1lb diced potatoes

1lb cauliflower

1lb diced carrots

1lb diced Swede

3 spring onions

1 teaspoon of vegetable extract

1 tablespoon of oatmeal

a little chopped parsley

Method:
Cook everything together with just enough water to cover, stirring often to prevent it sticking to the pan , let the mixture cool. Spoon into a pie dish, sprinkle with chopped parsley. Cover with a crust of potato or wholemeal pastry. Bake in a moderate oven until golden. Serve with gravy.

Health Bread

Ingredients:

11/2lb self raising flour

1 teacup sugar

1 breakfast cup of syrup

1 egg

1 breakfast cup of raisins with stones removed

1 breakfast cup of milk

a pinch of salt

Mix together the sugar, flour, salt and raisins. Beat the egg and add into the milk and syrup. Mix all ingredients together. Bake in two well greased loaf tins in a moderate oven for approx 11/2 hours. Slice thinly after a couple of days and serve with butter or margarine. Will keep for a month in a tin.

I hope you enjoyed reading our facts and our interesting recipes!

New laptops!

We are very lucky to have a brand new set of laptops in school. In Formula Base we were given the responsibilty of setting them up for the younger children in the school and checking that they work correctly and of course - they do! These laptops are really going to enhance our learning as we can all be working on them at the same time.

We used them to research about Dunkirk and have also word processed stories and poems about the snow on them.

The Evacuation of Dunkirk

The Evacuation Model is finished! We added sand to our beach for effect and have added toy soldiers and vehicles and are now enjoying playing with the model and re-enacting the evacuation with the toy soldiers, toy military vehicles and our own little ships!

Here are the final pictures:

Adding sand to the beach:
We've added our little ships: How great does this look? Very realistic - we love it!Re-enacting the Evacuation of Dunkirk is very popular!
