In History this week, we have been looking at the evacuations from World War II. We discussed why they were necessary, how children may have felt, how they took place and how we would have felt if it were us.
We then looked at a range of historical sources (eg news reels, newspapers photographs, posters and first-hand accounts). Whilst looking at these, we were deciding which were reliable, which perhaps didn’t tell the whole story and why this might have been.
The children found the lesson interesting and they were very engaged throughout and had lots of thoughts and questions.
