How did World War Two start?

This week, we have been so impressed by the children's enthusiasm and desire to learn about World War Two both in their English and theme lessons. The children can now list the major allied and axis powers involved in the war as well as their leaders. They can also explain how the war started. In our English lessons, the children have been preparing to write biographies about Winston Churchill and have learned about the influence he had on the spirit of the British nation during this time. The sentence stack in our classrooms shows our modelled writing about Augusta Chiwy who was a honoured African-Belgian nurse who treated wounded soldiers on the front line.
