In Year 6, we  are really enjoying our History lessons, learning about World War II. 

At Sayer’s Croft, we learnt about the experiences of evacuees there during World War II and we are looking forward to meeting Miss C’s mum who is going to tell us about her  own experiences during World War II. We have written lots of interesting questions that we are keen to have answered.

Today, we worked with our learning partners to create a time line of some of the key events of World War II. We had about thirty key events to put in chronological order. Then we discussed the events with our learning partners and decided on the ten key events that we were going to include in our own timelines.

    I really enjoyed making a time line about the war,and while I was making it I learnt something new. which was about Italy joined the war as one of the Axis power. This was a type of challenge and how to look at each date and what year the war took place. This was one of my favourite lessons that I have done in history.

  5. I really enjoyed making the WW2 Timeline because I learnt that Italy was also involved in the war by being an Axis Power for France.
