A Child’s War

Project overview

This project teaches children about the cause and effect of the Second World War, significant events and people and develops their empathy for what it was like to be a child at the time.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogyEngage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.

*This project is part of the Cornerstones History Curriculum and not sold separately.
