Revolution

Our topic for this term is called Revolution! This is all about the Victorian period in England from 1837-1901. We will learn about Queen Victoria, her life and impact on England life then and today. We will learn about the stark differences in the lives of the rich and the poor and the comparisons in the lives of children then and our lives today! We will then finish by looking at the legacy the Victorians left on our lives today.

A Child’s War

A Child’s War is a fantastic topic. We are going to study the lives of children living through WWII including what it was like to be an evacuee, life with rationing and the Holocaust.

We had a brilliant launch day to begin this topic where the children came dressed as evacuees with their gas mask box with them! They studied what gas masks are, what they would pack in their suitcase,  how propaganda posters encouraged evacuation, what evacuation was like and where in the country was evacuated!
