WW2 EVACUEES CHRISTMAS: For the last of Michelham Priory's Christmas events they will be celebrating a WWII Christmas tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday. There will be lots going on throughout the day, you can take part in a wartime classroom lesson and try your hand at writing a message in Morse code. You could participate in a Home Guard Drill or how about making a super special paper aeroplane and take part in a flying competition. There will be a talk each day on the Home Guard or women in WWII. How about learning more about the Evacuees that stayed at Michelham during WWII. The Victory V's will be singing on Sunday from 2pm to 3pm so have a dance and a sing along. There will also be a children's trail and crafts and the house will be decorated for Christmas through the ages.
