Our topic this term is entitled 'World War 2'.

What experiences did children in Dover have during the Second World War? Children will experience events in the order they occurred and then record their own thoughts and feelings in their own secret war-time diary. Children will learn which key countries were involved in World War II (France, Germany, Italy, USA, Japan, Russia and United Kingdom) and that Chamberlain, Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo were influential leaders during the war. The children will evaluate the impact of the significant events in our locality, during World War 2, including Operation Dynamo and Pied Piper, The Battle of Britain and The Blitz. Greatest emphasis will be upon how aspects of national history has impacted Dover. Our key skills are using and interpreting primary resources to discuss the past. Children will construct informed responses that involve thoughtful selection and organisation of relevant historical information.

We have used our knowledge of Operation Pied Piper to write newspapers reports documenting the events of the time. We have included all of the key factual information and have reported on people’s feelings at the time.
