Autumn Term 2 2026- Lest We Forget
This term, we will be finding out about the main events of the Second World War and exploring the impact it had on life in Holbeach. In our English lessons, we will be writing our own remembrance poems and writing diaries from the viewpoints of evacuees escaping the Blitz. Our class book is Letters from the Lighthouse where we follow twelve-year-old Olive Bradshaw and her little brother Cliff as they are evacuated to the Devon coast.
Overview for the Term
Term 2- Letters from the Lighthouse
February, 1941.
After months of bombing raids in London, twelve-year-old Olive Bradshaw and her little brother Cliff are evacuated to the Devon coast. The only person with two spare beds is Mr Ephraim, the local lighthouse keeper. But he’s not used to company and he certainly doesn’t want any evacuees.
Desperate to be helpful, Olive becomes his post-girl, carrying secret messages (as she likes to think of the letters) to the villagers. But Olive has a secret of her own. Her older sister Sukie went missing in an air raid, and she’s desperate to discover what happened to her. And then she finds a strange coded note which seems to link Sukie to Devon, and to something dark and impossibly dangerous.
