11 Oct Year 6, Week 6
This week, Year 6 wrapped up their learning in history by answering their key question: Is War ever Right? After learning about World War Two, through a series of enquiries, Year 6 were asked to share their opinions on this key question. They provided arguments for why sometimes war does have positive impacts and why it often has negative impacts. They then concluded with their own opinion. Ellie shares some of her final essay on this below. Here she is contemplating the positive impact of World War Two:
“There were some positive aspects in World War Two. For example, it brought nations together and Britain established allies such as the USA and France. As bad as the war was, it was good for some people such as children: children often had a very pleasant experience being evacuated to the countryside. Furthermore, Britain eliminated Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, which changed people’s lives forever. After the war, there were positive aspects too. Some soldiers, who had to come to Britain from the British Empire to support in the war effort, stayed here afterwards and that has been influential in building the diverse society that we live in today.”
