Year 6 pupils, aged 10 and 11, at Wickham Market Community Primary School have been researching World War II and now share their findings, work and thoughts with listeners.

They used a variety of sources for their research, including inviting local people in and asking them questions about what life was like in war-time. Based on their research they each developed an area of the topic that they were particularly interested in, and wrote reports, letters, poems and diaries. This has helped bring the history of World War II to life for them. Sharing this in a radio report has given them pride in the work they have carried out.
