Local History – Year 4
In Year 4, children embark on an in-depth exploration of World War II, focusing on the significant impact it had on Hull’s community, particularly during the Hull Blitz. They learn about the historical events leading up to the war, the reasons behind the conflict, and how Hull became a target due to its strategic location as a major port and industrial hub.
The children dive into the dramatic events of the Hull Blitz, when the city faced heavy bombing raids, resulting in widespread destruction and hardship for local families. Through first-hand accounts, historical documents, and photographs, they gain insight into what life was like for people living through the air raids. The lessons cover topics such as evacuation, rationing, and how the local community pulled together to support each other during these challenging times.
