As part of our Attack and Defence topic the children have been learning all about the Battle of Britain and the ‘dog fights’ that took place in the air over Great Britain.  The children discovered that Hitler retreated on 31st October 1940 but soon after, the Blitz began and Hitler took to bombing the City of London at night.

We introduced the use of Wartime headlamp covers and discovered how and why they were used on cars.  The children in 4PG made their very own versions and what a great job they did.  4B and 4D will be making theirs very soon.

 

 

 

Linking back to our Electricity unit in Autumn 1, we set the children the challenge of making their own working headlamp to fit inside the cover.  They all did really well and could see how the slits in the cover would stop the light rays being spotted so easily from the sky.
