World War
A guide to the resources available for teaching about World War 2
Pencil Street will be releasing its World War II teaching resources during August, based around The QCA schemes of work for primary history. They cover an array of topics, including what it was like for children in the Second World War, The Blitz and The Battle of Britain, as well as real life quotes from those who experienced the war as children.
Viv Sparkes a teacher at Pencil Street, who interviewed people on their war experiences, said, "I was truly touched to hear the personal stories of those who were evacuated or involved in The Blitz, it was really very moving".
Pencil Street's teaching resources include a rich variety of classroom wall displays for ‘The Home Front', ‘Children in the War', ‘The Holocaust' and ‘The World at War'. There is also a collection of World War II propaganda posters from England, Russia, Canada and the United States to show primary school pupils what psychological tactics were used on both sides.
Karl Jenkins, Managing Director of Pencil Street said, "We had been asked many times for teaching resources on World War II, particularly The Holocaust, but it was very difficult to try and develop resources for Key Stage 2 children around this subject. However, thanks to the expertise of our in-house production team of professional teachers, I believe we have created informative teaching resources that are sensitive to the subject and portray it in a delicate manner. We hope our worksheets and wall displays make children think, whilst protecting them from the true horrors of the concentration camps."
The Holocaust teaching resources feature pictures from Wobbelin, Buchenwald, Auschwitz, Larger-Norhausen and Sachsenhausen concentration camps, which help to provide a window onto The Holocaust for upper Key Stage 2 Children.The resources were researched and developed by the Pencil Street Team with kind help from: The Library of Congress Washington, The Imperial War Museum London, Steve Hunnisett's Image Collection of Blitswalkers, The National Archives and Records Administration(USA), le Conseil Régional de Basse Normandie, Ian Day of UK Home Front, Paul Townsend(images) and many other individuals who have shared their experiences with us.
