·         What was it like to be an evacuee? Remember that not everyone had a positive experience.
For people who were evacuating it was an anxious time, but for some people it                was something new and scary. This was because most of the children had to be evacuated and they had no idea where they were going or the family that they would be living with. Some of the children had amazing experiences but some had a miserable time! Some of the children would have been sad to go because there mothers or any other parents were not able to come, because it was important for the kids to get out of the town first.

·         What was the diet of people like during the war? There was rationing and people had to make the best of what was available.
Most of the food was from other countries and because of the war some of the ships were took over or they sunk before they got to shore or bombs hit the places where the food was stored. Because not many of the ships made it there was not much food and you would be lucky even if you just got a simple piece of fruit.
