I liked the film about 303 Squadron 'Bloody Foreigners' and the song 'The White Cliffs of Dover'. I also liked drawing pictures to illustrate film 'Goodnight Mister Tom'. (Nikola, Year 6)

I liked logo competition, videomeetings, History lessons about WW2 in English. (Martyna K., Year 6)

For me the best was drawing pictures for William's story, videomeetings with English children, singing 'The White Cliffs of Dover' and playing kahoot about 'Goodnight Mister Tom', 303 Squadron and WW2. (Weronika, Year 6)

I liked making Spitfire model and drawing the logo for this project. It was fun to sing 'The White Cliffs of Dover'. (Oskar, Year 6)

I learnt a lot about WW2 from during the Hitory lessons with English materials. I liked 'Goodnight Mister Tom' film and drawing pictures for the ebook. (Michał, Year 6)

I remember drawing pictures about William, singing 'The White Cliffs of Dover' and watching film 'Goodnight Mister Tom'. (Natalia, Year 6)

I found out about children's life during WW2 in Great Britain. I liked film 'Goodnight Mister Tom', drawing pictures for our common ebook about William. I like the song 'The White Cliffs of Dover'. (Marta, Year 6)

I learnt about The Battle of Britain, about Polish pilots in the battle and about the WW2 in England. I liked the documantary 'Bloody Foreigners', the film 'Goodnight Mister Tom' and the lessons about WW2. (Miłosz, Year 7)

Translating parts of 'Goodnight Mister Tom' into Polish was a great challenge for me. I learnt a lot about Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain from the documentary and while I was making a presentation about them. (Mateusz, Year 8)

I liked the film about 303 Squadron and our visit to local museum in Dzierżoniów, where we could watch an exhibition about Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain. Lessons about WW2 in English was a good way of studying. (Martyna, Year 7)

Teacher's reflections:

I had always wanted to study the Battle of Britain with my students. I was happy when English teachers agreed to work on this subject with me. Cooperation with English school gave us the opportunity to compare the points of view on the Battle of Britain from Poland and England.
Polish students in Year 4 read  'The Chronicle of Narnia' and they knew a little bit about children leaving their homes in London during the war.

Now they enjoyed watching 'Goodnight Mister Tom' (in English) and drew pictures for William story, we discussed the film in the classroom and playing kahoot about the film during videomeeting with English students was a great experience for them.

As an English teacher I was happy my students enjoyed working with the materials from partner school about WW2 in the UK. They understood a lot and could answer the questions pretty well.

The oldest students in my school - Year 8 helped us with translation of parts of the book 'Goodnight Mister Tom' as there isn't any Polish translation of this book. Some of the students managed really well. I will use their translation working with younger students.

Project gave an opportunity for each student to develop his/her creativity as we used different methods of teaching: film, documentary, worksheets, singing, drawing (pictures, logo),  making models, speaking, studying history at home (prresentations), gaming (quizzes), visiting museums (exhibition about Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain, visiting Westerplatte), translating, writing (letters to William, letters to English students).
