Ruby class

In History, we have learned about the Canary Girls – the women who went to work in munitions factories during WW1.
We found out what the conditions were like for them – the pros and cons, and how propaganda may have been used to persuade them into the jobs.

Diamond class

In Year 6 this week, the children have been learning about the 'Appeasement' during WW2. They have analysed the reasons why Neville Chamberlain was in favour of appeasement through the Munich Agreement, and why he thought it would bring 'peace for our time'. We also studied the opposing views of Winston Churchill.
The children then carried out a lively debate, acting as members of parliament debating their different views about the agreement. It was very heated and Mrs Bird had to call 'order, order' quite a few times, but the children loved it and were very good at using counter-arguments.
