Tuesday 12th May
Topic Tuesday
Happy Tuesday! Today we are back to the original order of World War II.
Task 1 li – to learn about the key events of WWII
Answer the following question in any way you want. You could write two or three paragraphs, make sway, or display – the choice is yours but try to answer as fully as possible and with as much detail (evidence) as possible.
What was the Battle of Britain?
Task 2 li – about the Blitz
The Blitz quickly followed the Battle of Britain and was mainly in London but did spread to other areas of Britain, including Scotland. The following link takes you to a film about the first day of the Blitz in London. It contains footage, newsreels and stories by people who actually lived through the Blitz.
As you can imagine, there are some very sad stories contained in it and accounts which may be upsetting. If you’d prefer to not watch it, that is no problem, do your own personal research about what happened during the Blitz.
Otherwise, please watch this film (it’s about 40 minutes long) and take notes to help you learn about the Blitz in the words of people who were there.

Task 3 li – planes used in WWII
Probably the most iconic plane used in WWII defending Britain from the Germans was the Spitfire. Your task is to find out about the Spitfire and try to create a 3D copy of one. You could use card, paper, paint or even a toilet roll tube. If none of these are available to you, I have included a template for a paper craft Spitfire for you to make. Send in pictures of what you make 😊.
Remember to always be the best version of yourself!
