Today we began our History unit about the Holocaust. Children have been intrigued by this topic since we read the boy in the stripped pyjamas at the start of the year. Today we completed the following tasks.

Chronological skills: We recapped on our prior knowledge of WW2 and built on this today, focusing on the rise of Nazi Germany and the mass murders of Jews across Europe.
