and Britain Connections

http://www.collaborativelearning.org/britainpoland.pdf Poland and Britain - Connections This set of activities is currently developing as a response to racist behaviour towards Polish new arrivals in classrooms in rural areas where the presence of other ethnic groups is new and ignorance is shared by adults and children. The activities are designed to acquaint pupils with the connections that have been taking place since the twelfth century or earlier when Norman knights went crusading in Poland up to the time when after the invasions of Poland in 1939 many Polish soldiers, sailors and airmen came to Britain and made a significant contribution to the war effort. With help of colleagues in Poland I hope we can bring the history closer to the present, but I sense that we will be looking at historical sources which are still very controversial.

Currently we have two (maybe three) activities in the pipeline: 1. A 'sort out the clues' activity to complete a timeline introducing events from Polish history (bottom of timeline) and events from joint Great Britain/Polish history (top of timeline). 2. An information/transformations activity introducing a class set and more of people, events, artefacts for sharing and researching. 3. A timeline and mapping activity along the lines of our Anglo Saxon dates activity where small groups study different periods of Polish history to research and present to the rest of the class.

I must emphasise at this stage that the activities are tentative and we welcome your comments and suggestions. If you have Polish students or teachers in your school please ask them to help us. http://www.collaborativelearning.org/britainpoland.pdf Britain and Poland; characters, events and objects for transformation activity.
