Home Learning – VE Day 75th Anniversary 2020 To support you teaching:
• KS1 (Years 1 and 2)
Subjects covered: • KS2 (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6)
History; cross curricular links with writing and geography – local area study, ICT and art. • Lower KS3 (Years 7 and 8)
Hello Parents and Carers,
This user-friendly pack of resources has been put together to help you teach your children at home. As well as easy-to-follow
one-page session plans, also included are printable resources and links to child-friendly websites which support each task.
Learning can be adapted to use with 5 to 12-year-olds and while some tasks will involve input from you, there are many
opportunities for independent study.
This resource is designed to be used in the four days preceding Friday May 8th but could be referred to at other times to link
with relevant History learning. We hope you will enjoy marking this important anniversary by teaching your children about the
past and how it has shaped their futures.
Jane Kennedy-Scott, Consultant Teacher
