On Friday mornings, we are going to be doing a new activity called D.E.A.R - Drop Everything And Read. 

Here is your first DEAR activity. Have a read of the text attached. 

When reading can you think about and be ready to answer these questions:

What text type is it? 

Who wrote the pieces?

When did people start preparing for the war?

What was people's biggest worry?

Why did the writer find something funny?
