Continuing with our look at WW2, children across year 4 have  been learning about the aircraft used in the war on both the British and German sides.  They discovered that  Britain used Spitfires, Hurricanes and Lancaster Bombers and that the Germans used Messerschmitt 109’s and 110’s and Junkers.  We learnt about the similarities and differences between the aircraft and looked at the insignia used.

During the next lesson, the children learnt about the R.A.F and the need to recruit new members in the lead up to and during the war.  We studied a variety of wartime posters and the children then worked in pairs to create their own R.A.F recruitment poster.  Have a look at some of the posters created, below.
