Learning Links to World War 2 - Worksheet - Year 6

A Year 6 history worksheet prompts students to explore their existing knowledge and make connections to World War Two, drawing upon their previous studies in history. The worksheet encourages learners to consider and jot down what they already know about the conflict, including any relevant historical events or concepts that may have been covered in earlier lessons. This reflective approach aims to build a cohesive understanding of history by linking past learning to the topic at hand.

In addition to recalling past lessons, the worksheet guides students to think more broadly about other possible connections they have to World War Two, which might include cultural, familial, or community links. Furthermore, the worksheet delves into the significant impact of both world wars on Britain, prompting critical thought about the wars' long-lasting effects on the country. Key questions about the origins of the wars are posed, such as the causes of World War One and the specific role Adolf Hitler played in the onset of World War Two, encouraging students to consider the complex interplay of historical events and figures that led to these global conflicts.
