This half term, our topic is 'World War Two'. We are studying different aspects of WW2 in English and also in some of the foundation subjects.
In English, we are reading 'Goodnight Mr Tom'. We have written a letter in role as an evacuee and we are writing a story about a child being evacuated to the countryside.
In History, our enquiry question is 'What was it like to be an evacuee?'. We have looked at the causes of the war, rationing and designed our own propaganda posters.
In DT, we have researched Anderson shelters. We have designed our own and are in the process of making them.
Earlier this half term, we went on a visit to The Imperial War Museum North. We looked at different artefacts and enjoyed participating in the interactive exhibitions.
We have borrowed a box of WW2 artefacts from Touchstones. The children enjoyed looking at the items and trying some of them on!
In addition, in Science our topic is 'Electricity'. We have made circuits and investigated how changing the number of batteries affects the brightness of the bulb.
