And the fantastic home-learning continues...

Well done to Elise for inserting hyperlinks into her Winston Churchill document (example below). Great timeline too Elise!

Winston Churchill: German surrender announcement May 7, 1945 - YouTube 

Well done to Rayhan also - impressive tank knowledge, and a VERY imaginative method of presentation. More on this to follow...

And another well done to Gurmeet.... Gurmeet produced an excellent movie that met all of our success criteria. The music that accompanied it was very suitable  - the hour you spent selecting this was well spent Gurmeet!

Amazing WW2 home-learning projects: More photos as promised!


This is Haseena's work on 'Military Vehicles'. It meets all of our success criteria- it is imaginative, AND the wheels lift up to reveal her research!


Well done once again to Brenden. The class particularly liked how Brenden included one of his sources (a DVD) in the inside cover. We will try and watch an extract from this next week - Brenden can tell us the best bit!


The 'Military Vehicles' option proved very popular - this is Aneel's work on the topic. We are looking forward to seeing this work presented next week.


Callum also opted to study 'Military Vehicles'. Callum's project included ACTUAL photographs from the time, that one of his family members took!

Again, keep 'blog-watching'- more photos to follow shortly!

'Well done' doesn't do it justice! Nice one Y7!


The work above belongs to Libby. If you lift the King's Speech section and the picture of King George VI, there is even more info!


Abby made this tank - it took 7 hours! Abby also researched battles in which tanks were used.


This is Georgia's project on Pearl Harbour. There is a fantastic timeline on the other side too!


This is a section from Sayek's work on military vehicles. The vehicles have been made from mint boxes, which Sayek has painted. If you open the vehicles up, you will find the research that Sayek has done.



This is just one page of the amazing book that Erin put together on George VI. This book wins the prize for the most glitter I have ever seen on a piece of home-learning!



More pictures to follow very shortly!
