Term 1 and 2
The First and Second World Wars
How does war affect the lives of children?
Our Enquiry this term will look at the reasons behind countries entering WWI and WWII, and give the children the opportunity to discuss the impacts and outcomes. This history enquiry, which will run over both terms 1 and 2, will focus on teaching children the skills to be critical thinking historians. They will be taught about choosing reliable sources of information, evaluating and using evidence to support arguments, identifying and comparing changes and writing about a historical event using different sources.
In Term 2, we will be mostly focusing on WW2, looking at: Evacuation, The Blitz, the key people of the war on both sides, the Home Front (including rationing and the key military events from the beginning of the war such as The Battle of Britain and Dunkirk) and how the war affected families.
The children will be given time to explore an aspect of WW2 that particularly interests them and there will be opportunities to research this during our computing lessons.
