Year 6: Comprehension (The Crack Between Two Ceilings)

The Crack Between Two Ceilings: A Year 6 World War Two Evacuee Comprehension!

Follow Eliza, a ten‑year‑old evacuee from London, as she waits with her mother on a smoky station platform under a taped, bomb‑scarred roof during the Second World War. Like many real children sent from cities to the countryside under Operation Pied Piper, she carries a cardboard label, a suitcase and a gas mask while posters promise safety and fresh air away from the Blitz, even as she worries about the strangers who will take her in and the crack in the ceiling she is leaving behind.
