This term we will be learning all about WW1.  We will look at how the war started, what life was like for soldiers and people at home as well as how it ended and is remembered.  We will look at War poetry as part of this unit and be reading the book Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo as our class reading book to deepen our understanding of events.
