I have included a clip of the well known film, 'Goodnight Mr Tom.'

This film shows a young child who has been evacuated from London to live with a grumpy old man, 'Mr Tom.' The film shows how children were sent on a train to the country and how they were literally left with anyone who has a spare room. It explores the feelings of all characters involved and will provide topics for discussion and activities for you class.

Worksheet about what to include in your suitcase if you were an evacuee leaving your loved ones and moving to the country.

This worsheet is a suiatble independant activity for children to participate in after discussing what they might need to take with them. It could be used alongside the slideshow in the 'classroom activities' section of the website.

Revision sheet for information on evacuation in WW2.

This sheet ccan be used as a class in the plenary of a lesson, or could be given to the class as a form of summative assessment at the end of the topic.
