The site will contain information about all of the major events of the war in Europe. It will also look at the impact of the War of local areas, making use of local resources to present a picture of what life was like on the Home front during the war. Students will be researching and writing the content over the course of the next 3 months, with completed pages being uploaded as and when they are declared fit for public eyes. The aim of this project is to foster an interest in the local community, develop an understanding of the reasons for changes in the social and ethnic make up of modern society whilst also contributing to the development of their historical skills. Please assist them in their studies by sending in any memories, no matter how vague, you may have of life in the second world war.
