BLITZ SCHOOL
Which objectives do we cover?
ENQUIRE NOW
Our Blitz School living history package is mainly based on the QCA unit 9 History
topic "What was it like for children in the Second World War?", under the National Curriculum "Britain since 1930" topic area, which is normally taught in Key Stage
two in English primary schools. However, as well as History objectives, some English objectives are also covered, and these can be accessed here on our cross curricular objectives page.
Within our activities, the following National Curriculum History strands
are covered (please click the links to go directly to a matching FREE teaching resource).
