Hello, my name is Mrs. Tipping and I'm really looking forward to learning with you today all about significant individuals who changed Britain.

And we're gonna explore the question, how did they fight for change? So, shall we get started? Let's go.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to describe Paul Stephenson's life when he was evacuated during the Second World War.

Before we start, I would like to introduce you to some keywords.

We'll be using these keywords during the lesson, so it might be a good idea to write these words down.

The keywords we'll be using today are Second World War, evacuated, countryside.

I'm going to say those again and I'd like you to repeat them after me.

Second World War, evacuated, countryside.

Good job.

Now, let's think in more detail about what these keywords mean.

Let's take a look at each of their definitions.

The Second World War involved lots of countries fighting between 1939 and 1945.

When people are evacuated, they are moved from a dangerous area to a safe one.

The countryside means areas with lots of fields which are away from towns and cities.

So pause video here to make a note of the keywords.

And when you are ready to continue, press play.

<v ->These are the learning cycles</v> that we'll be working through together in today's lesson.

Evacuation to the countryside.

Why was Paul treated differently? In the first learning cycle, we'll explore evacuation to the countryside.

Paul Stephenson was the man who very bravely walked into the Bay Horse Pub in 1964 to show that not allowing Black people into the pub was unfair.

Paul was born in Essex in 1937.

Now, Essex is very close to the capital city of the United Kingdom, London.

Let's have a look there at the map of the United Kingdom.

Can you see where Essex is? And then can you see where London is? So you can see they're very quite close.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Where was Paul Stephenson born? London, Essex, Bristol.

Pause the video here and give yourself a moment to think, and then press Play when you are ready to continue.

If you said that Paul Stevenson was born in Essex, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

Now, two years after Paul was born, the Second World War began.

This was a war involving armies from countries across the world fighting each other.

It lasted from 1939 to 1945, and Britain was involved too.

And because of the fighting, it was dangerous for children to stay in big cities, and so they were evacuated.

So you can see a photo there of children being evacuated from London.

You see what they've got with them.

Hmm.

So children were moved from dangerous areas to safer ones until the war was over.

Most of the children had to go alone without their parents.

They travelled on trains to the countryside, and the countryside was safer because it was far away from towns and cities where the fighting was happening.

So you can see that photo there of children at the train station getting ready to be evacuated.

They don't have a lot of possessions with them, do they? Just small bags.

I wonder how they would've felt getting on that train without their parents.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

When people are evacuated, they are moved from a safe area to a dangerous area.

Is that true or false? Hmm.

What do you think.

If you said that's false, you are absolutely right.

Now let's take a look at these two statements here.

Which of these would help to justify your answer? The Second World War made cities dangerous for children.

The Second World War made cities safe for children.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner.

Which of these two statements would help to justify your answer? Press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said the second World War made cities dangerous for children, you are absolutely right.

So when people were evacuated, they were moved from a dangerous area to a safe one.

Paul lived very close to London, and so it was much safer for him to be evacuated too.

He was only three years old when he was evacuated to the countryside with other children.

Lots of city children had never seen fields or farm animals before.

And moving to the countryside was a big adventure for them.

They had lots of freedom to play in the fields and streams in the area.

So you can see that photo of evacuated children in the countryside would've been a new experience for them, with Paul only being three years old, I wonder what he thought of seeing all of these animals and fields.

Well, Paul stayed in the countryside for the next seven years.

He loved growing up, playing in streams with the other children, and chasing rabbits.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

How old was Paul Stephenson when he was evacuated to the countryside? Three, six, or 10.

Pause the video here and have a quick discussion with your partner and press Play when you are ready to continue.

If you said he was three years old, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

This brings us to our first learning task.

I'd like you to match the keyword to the correct definition.

So we have Second World War, evacuated, and countryside.

Areas with lots of fields which are away from towns and cities.

This involved lots of countries fighting between 1939 and 1945 when people are moved from a dangerous area to a safer one.

Pause the video here and make sure you give yourself enough time to have a go at matching the keyword to the correct definition, and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? <v ->Shall we take a look at the answers?</v> So, firstly, the Second World War.

This involves lots of countries fighting between 1939 and 1945.

Well done if you match that one up.

Then if evacuated is when people are moved from a dangerous area to a safer one.

And finally, countryside, areas with lots of fields which are away from towns and cities.

Well done for matching the keywords to their correct definitions, and well done for completing that learning task.

We're now going to move into the second part of our lesson.

We are going to explore why Paul was treated differently.

Paul was very happy growing up in the countryside, but he was always treated differently because of the colour of his skin, and this was very unfair.

He was the only black child that had been evacuated to the little village where he lived and the people there were very curious about him.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Why was Paul treated differently to the other children? Because he was clever, because he was Black, because he was White.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your learning partner and press Play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that he was treated differently because he was Black, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

Now, when the war was over in 1945, evacuated children could go back to the cities, and Paul was very sad to leave the countryside and his friends behind.

He went back to the city and at school the other White children made fun of him for the colour of his skin.

This was very unfair and meant that the school was not a nice place for Paul.

And these experiences made Paul decide that he would like to help other people when he grew up.

He knew that nobody should be treated unfairly just because of the colour of their skin.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Identify whether each statement is true or false.

So place a tick if it's true, or a cross if it's false.

Paul was evacuated to the countryside because of the Second World War.

Paul enjoyed living in the countryside and playing in the streams. Paul was always treated fairly by other children.

Pause the a video here and have a discussion with your learning partner about which of these statements is true or false, and then press Play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? Shall we take a look? So Paul was evacuated to the countryside because of the Second World War.

That's true.

Paul also enjoyed living in the countryside and playing in the streams, so that's also true.

But Paul was not always treated fairly by other children.

So this is false.

Well done if you were able to spot which of those statements was true or false.

This brings us to our second learning task.

I'd like you to tell your learning partner about Paul Stephenson's life when he was evacuated during the Second World War.

You could include these words to help you, countryside, cities, streams, unfair, skin colour, children.

Pause the video here and give yourself enough time to have a go at this learning task, and then press Play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at an example? So your answer might have included, when Paul was only three, he was evacuated to the countryside.

This was because cities were unsafe during the Second World War.

He was happy growing up there, playing with his friends in streams, but he was always treated differently to the other children because of his skin colour.

This was very unfair.

Well done if you were able to tell your learning partner about Paul Stephenson's life when he was evacuated during the Second World War.

And well done for completing that learning task.

Before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what we've learned about Paul Stephenson's early life and evacuation.

Paul Stevenson was born in 1937 near London.

He was evacuated to the countryside when he was only three years old because of the Second World War.

He grew up in the countryside for seven years and enjoyed paddling in streams and chasing rabbits.

However, Paul was always treated differently because he was the only Black child.

When the war ended and he returned to the city, his classmates unfairly made fun of the colour of his skin.

Thank you for joining me in this lesson today.

I hope to see you in the next one.

See you next time.
