Developed for primary schools
Take children on a meaningful journey through WWI with immersive KS2 lessons and rich resources. From writing diary entries and newspaper reports to analysing wartime poetry, artwork, and propaganda, pupils will explore the human stories behind the history. They’ll investigate key events, influential figures, and the symbolism of the poppy—bringing history to life through empathy, creativity, and critical thinking.
These lessons and resources are available either as part of a topic-related whole project within the broader Cornerstones History Curriculum through our Maestro platform, or as individual stand-alone lessons on our Quick Teach platform.

This project teaches children about the causes, events and consequences of the First and Second World Wars, the influence of new inventions on warfare, how life in Great Britain was affected and the legacy of the wars in the post-war period.
If you’re looking for inspiring lessons and resources across the whole history curriculum, then the Cornerstones History Curriculum offers everything you need for single or multi-year groups, with a collection of projects designed by subject experts to support teachers and subject leaders at every level of subject knowledge.

Not everyone needs a whole subject curriculum. If you’re only looking for some extra ideas and resources to add to what you’re already doing, we can help with that, too. Quick Teach gives you precisely that and is available to individual teachers as part of a low-cost monthly subscription or to whole schools as part of an annual subscription. Packed with age-appropriate lesson ideas, plans and resources, we can help you across various subjects and topics.
