In Y6 this week, we have become increasingly passionate about our Autumn term History topic: World War 1! After reading more of our class book in English (Stay Where You Are and Then Leave), we have become invested in the lives of Alfie Somerfield and his family, which as a result has developed our interest in the events surrounding WW1 and promoted empathy for those who were directly involved all those years ago. This week we looked at why so many men enlisted voluntarily and produced our own propaganda posters with the aims of recruiting more soldiers. We used the same tactics which were used during the war to persuade as many people as possible: scare-mongering, peer pressure, national pride, a thrill of travel and adventure, the promise of a short war... can you spot which ones the children opted for in their posters?
