This film is from the series Exploring the Past - Post-War Britain available on BBC Teach. Fifteen-year-old Amba talks to her grandmother about her working life in the 1950s. She left school at 14 and worked in food factories until she married at 17. She returned to work part-time when her child went to school, in order to save up for expensive items such as a fridge, a washing machine and a car. Dr Claire Langhamer from the University of Sussex puts this experience into context, saying that it reflects the experience of many women at the time who worked to earn extra money but saw their main job as a wife and mother. Amba speaks to Patricia Barrett who worked in a bank for 35 years and never wanted to marry. She explains how women were treated differently to men at her bank – they earned less, were put on temporary contracts when they got married and weren’t offered overseas postings. Teacher Notes This could be used to show how women faced restrictions in terms of job opportunities in the post-war period.

Presenter Hazel Lindsey travels from England to West Africa, to investigate the use of child labour on cocoa plantations in Ghana. She travels to the village of Akyem Ofoase, about five hours from the capital Accra, to meet young cocoa pickers and find out what their life is like.

Hazel is also taken to the cocoa plantation owned by Patrick’s uncle, where she interviews child workers. Poor rural families rely on children to work picking cocoa pods with machetes.

‘The Eid Shoes’ is a short story for Key Stage 1 children linking to the festivals of Ramadan / Eid-ul-Fitr.

What do you learn from the books that you read? The Qur’an is special to all Muslims. What things do you think the Qur’an might include? What special times of the year are celebrations for you? How many of them have special times for food? Have you ever ‘gone without’ food for any reason? Why did you do it? How did it feel? After the programme: Find out about the ‘Five Pillars’ - celebrating the fast during Ramadan is one of them. Talk with children about which things they would (or do) find easy or difficult to do.

This assembly framework is one of a set of KS2 assemblies from BBC Teach. A short story (approx. 6 mins duration), available here, is used as part of this assembly. A boy reads the diary entries written by his great-great-grandfather from the trenches of the Western Front at Christmas 1914. By Christmas 1914, soldiers from the Allied and German armies had dug-in along a trench system reaching from Switzerland to the North Sea. On Christmas Eve the guns fell silent. The following morning - Christmas Day - troops on both sides climbed from their trenches and met together in No-Man’s-Land, between the battle lines. They shared drinks, played football, embraced, exchanged presents and sang carols. This spontaneous truce was observed in several places along the Western Front, but by no means everywhere. The following day - Boxing Day - the fighting began once again. The purpose of BBC’s content is to inform, educate and entertain.
