World War 2 - Y6 - 6 week unit

This pack includes:

• Powerpoint (with music, interviews, BBC teach videos, Radio broadcasts)
• Plan - matches the Powerpoint
• Worksheets.

This powerpoint covers all areas of WW2 and allows for children to complete their own research with given websites and resources.
Throughout this unit I did provide my class with some artifacts from both of the World Wars, however, videos or trips would have been equally as beneficial.

This topic does contain some quite disturbing content relating to the Holocaust, however, all materials used within this powerpoint ate age appropriate for Upper KS2.

Included:

• When and Why the war started - key people.
• Key events leading up to the war, and throughout.
• Rationing.
• Evacuation
• The Holocaust
• Womens Role throughout the war
• Free lesson - for children to research what they want to know about the war (either more details about what they have learnt, or something not covered, such as Military numbers, weaponry, uniforms etc).
