How You Can Help
Encourage your daughter to visit museums. Libraries contain huge amounts of information on both World Wars. Look out for television programmes and films on these areas and discuss them with your daughter. Many of you may have members of your family who lived through the Second World War.
Talking to people with first-hand experiences is a great way to find out about history. The Imperial War Museum has an excellent permanent collection on the 20th century world and often has interesting and relevant temporary exhibitions.
Books/Other Materials
Students have access to a wide range of resources including books and a range of textbooks. Extensive use is made of contemporary film.
