This half term, we are becoming historians as we begin an exciting new topic all about Britain during the Second World War. In our first two lessons, we explored what World War Two was, when it happened, and why it began. We looked at the major countries involved, key events that led up to the war, and how it affected people across the world.
We also began to understand some of the terrible impacts the war had, particularly on Jewish people, and learned about the discrimination and persecution they faced during this time. Everyone has shown great curiosity and maturity while discussing these serious topics. We are looking forward to finding out more about life in Britain during the war in the weeks ahead.
