Since the 3rd September 1939, there has not been a single day where the world has been at peace!
This has been the central idea for year 5’s unit of inquiry this half term. Year 5 have been inquiring about the conflicts that have occurred around the world since 1939. They have been looking at the concepts of peace and conflict. We spoke to Jordan in year 5, “Peace is calm and relaxing and conflict is war, fighting and destruction!”.
Year 5 have been gathering facts and reflecting on research to create booklets containing information about the wars of the past and the present. They have a big poster up in their classroom saying “Peace” and “Conflict”. The year 5 students drew images of what peace and conflict meant to them and stuck them up on the banner.
As part of their unit of inquiry, year 5 went on an amazing trip to Manchester. We interviewed Elysse and Tomiwa about their trip. “We went to the Imperial War Museum North, which was built next to Manchester United’s football ground.”
“We went into a really large hall, which had real tanks and bombs and spitfires hanging from the ceiling. Then we watched a film in which people involved in war talked about their experiences. We heard sirens, bombs exploding and saw big flashes.”
