<p>An immersive interactive hour-long lesson plan for Year 5 and 6 children about WW2 evacuees.</p> <p>There are three activities built into this lesson with three key objectives identifed in the lesson plan.</p> <p>I have delivered this lesson many times as part of a programme of WW2 themed workshops I previously delivered to primary schools.</p>

This resource of over 40 pages includes two spelling revision activities, involving all of the Year 5/6 spelling words from the National Curriculum. <br /> <br /> All 102 words in the list have been written into 20 short spelling tests with a World War 2 context. Every test is written in complete form for the Teacher to read out with a separate sheet ready for the pupils to fill in the given spellings.<br /> <br /> There is also an additional spelling activity, which the children can work on independently.<br /> <br /> The resource could be used to compliment a topic on WW2, or the context may simply offer your pupils a welcome and fresh change from the norm of the usual random sentence examples given in a spelling test.<br /> <br /> They could be used in many ways, including warm ups to Literacy or topic sessions, as well as homework.

<p>This activity pack is designed for Teachers and Parents with children in the age range of 10-11 years old (Year 6), although with support, the tasks could be completed by younger children. The activities are all based around the fictional village of Nay-Upon-Halt located in the middle of the English countryside. The activities could be used as extension tasks during a WW2 topic in school, or as challenges to be completed during school holidays by parents or teachers.</p> <p>As a way of increasing independence, the Internet could be used by the children to find successful examples of the things they are asked to complete in this activity pack, as well as the history around some of the events mentioned in the tasks.</p> <p>There are two activities highlighted in yellow in the Contents Page. These activities lend themselves well to group work with valuable opportunities to discuss ideas and reasoning. If this pack is to be given by a parent for use at home, or issued by a teacher for homework during school holidays, these activities provide a great opportunity for all the family to get involved and generate interesting discussion.</p>
