Following the huge success of our last project based on Space, we were all eager to start another project using the Project Approach. Following some discussion, a survey and a vote, we have decided that our new project will be based on life during World War One and World War Two. What an amazing and interesting topic!
So far, we have brainstormed what we already know about both wars (quite a lot!) and talked about grandparents and great-grandparents that lived through or even were involved in the wars. We divided into groups and chose a topic that would be the focus of our project. The project titles are as follows:
- War Horse
- Interviewing experts on the war
- Weapons of WW1 and WW2
- Life for the Jews in WW2
- Racism in WW2
- Comparing the Lives of Children in WW2
- Hitler and the Nazis
- The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Ms. Kirby took some books out of the library that we could use for research, and some people from the class also brought in books, including the Horrible Histories version of WW1 and WW2. We are looking forward to learning more about both wars through this project.
