Part of an E-twinning projectA song a month

3rd Ellington Clg G TillionJune 2013 Mrs Sallibartan

One of the song we studied was « It could happen again » It was linked to our history program and the story of the Art exam.It's about the xmas truce when the soldiers stopped fighting for xmas at the beginning of WW1.

We also watched a cartoon about it called "war game" and watched the beginning of the film "Joyeux Noel" on the same theme. Although it's about the war, it's a song of hope for peace.

Then we read extracts of letters written by English children who were evacuated during WWII before the London Blitz. Then I asked my pupils to imagine they had to moved somewhere and to write about their first impressions on their new place. Here are some of their letters.

I hope you enjoyed reading them. They were quite interested in this war project and when we finished the year they asked to watch another animated film called the grave of the fireflies
