Year 3 History: WWII
Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed learning about World War II during history lessons this half term.
Coinciding with Remembrance Day, year 3 kick-started their new topic by creating poppy artwork using a range of different mediums while discussing what they already knew about Remembrance Day and World War II. Over the next 6 weeks, children have learnt about many different WWII events and procedures. These included: The Outbreak of the War, The Home Front, Evacuation, Wartime Entertainment, The Armed Forces and The Battle of Britain. Mrs Blackburn was extremely impressed at the maturity and enthusiasm from the whole class during these lessons. This prompted some WWII inspired art work, sketching servicemen and women and painting a Blitz scene. The children ended their topic by creating a non-chronological report about WWII using all of their learnt knowledge from this half term and some independent research. Year 3 are looking forward to their Trip to Bovington Tank Museum in January.
