This assembly framework is one of a set of KS2 assemblies from BBC Teach. A short story (approx. 6 mins duration), available here, is used as part of this assembly. A boy reads the diary entries written by his great-great-grandfather from the trenches of the Western Front at Christmas 1914. By Christmas 1914, soldiers from the Allied and German armies had dug-in along a trench system reaching from Switzerland to the North Sea. On Christmas Eve the guns fell silent. The following morning - Christmas Day - troops on both sides climbed from their trenches and met together in No-Man’s-Land, between the battle lines. They shared drinks, played football, embraced, exchanged presents and sang carols. This spontaneous truce was observed in several places along the Western Front, but by no means everywhere. The following day - Boxing Day - the fighting began once again. The purpose of BBC’s content is to inform, educate and entertain.

This film is taken from The Story of World War One with Jeremy Paxman available on BBC Teach. Jeremy Paxman visits the Royal Gunpowder Mills in Essex to tell us about the million women who were employed in making munitions during World War One, and the dangers they faced from explosions and exposure to chemicals. We hear about the huge increase in the quantity and speed of production as a result. We see archive footage of the millions of British women who entered the workforce during World War One, taking part in a social revolution by making munitions and replacing absent men in their jobs. We hear about the huge demand for workers to make the munitions being rapidly used up in this new industrial war. When David Lloyd George became Minister for Munitions in May 1915, he decided to recruit huge numbers of women to make up the shortfall. We see photos and archive footage of women working in factories, fields, as bus conductors and firefighters.

This film is from the series The Eichmann Show available on BBC Teach. Due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter, we strongly advise teacher viewing before watching with your pupils. The televised trial of Adolf Eichmann brought to a global audience many of the previously unknown horrors of the Holocaust. On 11th December 1961, Eichmann, sitting impassive and unemotional, was pronounced guilty of all charges against him and sentenced to death. But how far can responsibility for the Holocaust be attributed to Eichmann? Was it right to blame Eichmann for it all? This short film explores the background to the Nazi paranoia about a Jewish conspiracy to take over Germany and Eichmann’s responsibility for the ‘de-Jewification’ of Germany leading up to World War Two. Historian, Professor David Cesarani examines the evidence, analysing how Eichmann presented himself as hapless, with no choice, following orders, and it was not for him to question the instructions of the ‘big bosses’. However, he eventually gave away his personal hatred for the Jewish people under the pressure of cross-examination. The purpose of BBC’s content is to inform, educate and entertain.
