23 Sep Year 6 – Week 3
Miss Bienias has spotted that Year 6 are very talented historians and this really showed in their workshop with Hackney Museum this week! The class looked at primary and secondary sources from World War Two and decided what information they provided them with and what hypotheses they could make about the past. The class were really touched by the story of Blanca, who moved to Hackney during the war from Austria. She was a Jewish woman who fled her country and found refuge in our amazing borough. She is 91 years old today and still lives in Hackney. History has really made them empathise and think about the fascinating stories and lives of others.
