It was WWII all the way today as Class 4 experienced what it was like to be evacuated during the Second World. With a trip on the Severn Valley Railway with luggage tags, gas masks and suitcases (lunchboxes!) and everyone, including Mr. Sansom dressed up as 'real' evacuees, we learnt an incredible amount about the 1940's. See the pictures here....
