Save hours of planning with this powerful, fully editable six-week cross-curricular medium term plan on World War One for Years 5 and 6.

Mapped to the KS2 National Curriculum across ten subjects — History, English, Science, Art & Design, Geography, Maths, Music, RE/PSHE, Computing, and PE — this plan goes far beyond a standard history unit to create a genuinely connected learning experience that stays with pupils long after the topic ends.

Each week explores a different dimension of the war — from the causes and trench life to war poetry, propaganda, the Home Front, and Remembrance — with detailed activity ideas for History, English, and cross-curricular sessions built in throughout.

Includes key vocabulary, learning objectives for all subjects, assessment opportunities, sensitivity guidance, and a curated resource list. Suitable for mixed-ability classes.
