What is WWII?

Friday 25 April 2025

We’ve started our new topic for this half term – history! We’ve been very excited about it and the children know lots already.

Before we got started, we looked at our new history vocabulary and rated our confidence as a class: red is never heard it before, orange is heard it but not confident and green is I am fully confident.

Today, we learnt about what WWII was and how it began.

We made a lot of great notes before we recorded a report to announce the outbreak of war.

Help at home by discussing how this lesson links with the following historical concepts:

The other concepts we learn about are trade, inequality and innovation.
