Meet the Royals...

In our topic we have been looking at Britain since the 1930's.


Today we have been learning about the royal family tree, During the war this Man was the King...

King George VI

The lady next to him is Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, later on she was also known as the Queen Mother.

Their eldest daughter is Queen Elizabeth II.

During the war the King and Queen stayed in Britain, they were not evacuated to safety. They stayed in London, and when the Palace was bombed by the Germans, the king was inside. Fortunately he did not get hurt.

"We think the King was a good man, he stayed here instead of being evacuated out of the city. He was brave and loyal to the people of the UK" Joe, Aleilah and McLean

Our Queen Elizabeth worked for the Army during the war, doing her part for our country.

"During the 1st world war the Royal family name was changed to Windsor,  as their name 'Saxe-Coburg-Gotha' held too many German connections. And as we were at war with the Germans, the King at the time decided it was best to change their name."Dan E, Dan H and Cara

We're really enjoying our topic work, some of us even have a few items to share from the war.
