they get sent to the countryside and become evacuees and work on a farm

Second answer:

The children sent away in World War Two were known as evacuees and were sent to places where the British thought the Germans wouldn't send their bombers, such as farms or other countryside locations. Overall, about 3,000,000 people (mostly schoolchildren) were given ID numbers and sent via trains, usually, to these places. There were often so many children sent to one place that the local farms, small towns etc. did not have enough beds for them.

This is a quote I took from a BBC website that shows that the children did not always quite know what was happening to them.

'We marched to Waterloo Station behind our head teacher carrying a banner with our school's name on it,' says James Roffey, founder of the Evacuees Reunion Association. 'We all thought it was a holiday, but the only thing we couldn't work out was why the women and girls were crying.'

Evacuees had varied experiences when they were sent away. Some were taken in as part of the family and treated well and fairly, maybe even better than at their own homes. However, 12% of 450 evacuees spoken to, according to a survey said they suffered mental or physical abuse. This is rather sad, but then so was most of WW2.
