Team LF - World War One

This half term, Team LF have been learning about World War I. They began by exploring how the war started, focusing on the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which ultimately led to the outbreak of the war. They learned about the different countries involved and the alliances they formed, understanding how these partnerships contributed to the scale of the conflict.

Linking their learning to geography, we used maps to identify the countries involved in the war. They colour-coded them to show which nations fought alongside each other, helping them to clearly see the Allied and Central Powers across Europe and beyond.
​
They also explored the role of propaganda during the war, particularly recruitment posters used to encourage men to join the army. Inspired by what they learned, they designed and created our own recruitment posters. In addition, they studied the structure of trenches and learned about what life was like for soldiers living and fighting in them.
