Bernard Ashley Visit

15/6/2016

 
The prize-winning author Bernard Ashley came to talk to Year 6 about his new book ‘Dead End Kids: heroes of the Blitz’. The book was inspired by the real-life dead End Kids of Wapping who fought fires during the World War II Blitz. Bernard talked about his own experiences as a child in London at that time, including the tragic story of his best friend who was killed when a bomb landed on his house.
​
Sian’s Literacy Group was honoured to spend time with Bernard as he explained what life was like for him and his family when he was evacuated to the North-west of England with his brother. His Dad was a firefighter in London, and the separation was difficult for them all. Bernard brought some things with him, including a very old comic and a wooden football rattle…very NOISY!
