Newsletters

Summer 2 Topic - World War 2
Journey back to World War II, a period that reshaped the world and touched the lives of millions. Children will explore the causes, key events, and the profound impact on people’s lives. They’ll discover how the war changed everyday life—from evacuation and rationing to the vital roles women played on the home front. They’ll delve into the stories of significant figures like Winston Churchill and Anne Frank, and investigate pivotal moments through primary sources, such as letters and photographs. Through these, children will uncover the courage and resilience shown during this challenging period.
