World War II - Keep the Home Fires Burning!
Red Kite Class have been learning about the importance of World War II this autumn term. The children have enjoyed learning about this significant period in British and world history. They have particularly enjoyed the drama, art and writing inspired by this time period.
On the 22nd of November, we had our WWII themed day! Red Kite class all got in character and came dressed up as; evacuees, wardens, soldiers, land girls and even our two wartime prime minsters, Mr Chamberlain and Mr Churchill, made an appearance! During this themed day, we made food using recipes from the time of rationing, participated in maths problems using shillings and other old coins, completed 1940s-style PE drills and we re-enacted many events of the time such as air-raids and the Blitz. We even had a go at some 'Make Do and Mend' ideas by learning how to sew!
During this topic we have had visitors from our community join us to share personal stories, family history and show us precious objects such as war medals, diaries, newspapers, identity cards, service records and much, much more! Many thanks to our parents, grandparents and other community members who have contributed to our learning!
