Hiroshima would not surrender after the war and so on August 6th 1945 they dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima to force them to surrender. Wiping out half of the Japanese race.
The bomb had caused an explosion which caused radiation, death or keloid scars.
A girl who was living in Hiroshima was 2 when the bomb dropped. She caught radiation and it didn’t affect her until she was 11. When the radiation affected her, she had hair loss, diarrhoea and her body attacked its self. Her left leg shrank.
HIROSHIMA’S HIT!
Bombing of Hiroshima
The atom bomb caused a huge cloud which was code named the mushroom cloud.
Sadako had caught radiation and was In hospital at the age of 11. She heard her friend say that if you make a thousand cranes it will grant you one wish. Believing in this she made 651 cranes in total. After this she died in hospital and her friends continued making the cranes for her.
They raised money for her and made a statue in her rememberance.
The death of Japan
Approximately 140,000 people died from radiation or keloid scars. The bomb caused a bright light, fire and heat. The noise of the bomb could make you deaf and so when the bomb dropped the allied forces covered their ears.

This week the children in year 6 were reflecting on our first Big Question of the year – How did evacuation affect the lives of children from Chorlton Park during WW2? In 6JG, the children were asked to conduct radio interviews with evacuees many years after the war, so that they could think of the long-term effects on their lives. The children found this a very challenging exercise. Here are one or two to sample.
For this years rememberance day Year5 and 6 went into the playground at 1100am. They gathered in a great big square then Miss Blackburn said some words. After that Mr Greaves played a note on his cornet and we all had a minute silence. Next Mr Greaves played a whole tune to show our minute was over. Soon later one person from each class carried their poppy reaf into the centre of the playground then we all left.
Horrible Hitler
By Nico Gunning
Horrible Hitler hit Holland horrifically.
Adolf’s alliance obliterated the world.
English spitfires flew like the wind
Nasty Nazis knocking at your door.
I was wishing for a better day.
Horrible Hitler hit Holland
Horrifically
Britain was bombed in the blitz.
The family of the dead were drowned in darkness.
I was shot four times then dead.
I was wishing for a better day.

Well done to all those who have created their own Wallwisher. There seems to be a problem at the moment so they are not working the way they should. Be patient and keep checking back to see if you can add stickies, it may take some time but it will be worth it!
Lillian trotted up the stairs. THUMP! The noise was so loud! and she was there right at the door when another ear splitting THUMP sounded. Soon Lillian heart was thumping just as loud. She couldn’t believe that only five minutes ago, she was picking daisy’s in the fields in the country side with rosy. they had made one long daisy chain before, and were quarrelling about who should take it home. In the end they just hung it on the closest tree and went home. She opened the door… then She Screamed, a terrible scream indeed. There were Nazi there!
The put that light out performance is educational and fun it is a very good way of learning about how people lived in world war 2. You find out about how some shopkeepers would sell stuff like lamb to rich people on the black market. The performance shows you the hardships of the war, how many people found themselves homeless or that there family was dead.
