Hello, my name is Mrs. Tipping, and I am really looking forward to learning with you today all about significant turning points and thinking about in what ways Britain changed after World War II.

So shall we get started? Let's go.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to explain why the two decades following the Second World War were a turning point in British history.

Now, before we start, I would like to introduce you to some key words.

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

The key words we'll be using today are turning point, ethnic diversity, discrimination, baby boomers.

I'm going to say those again.

I would like you to repeat them after me.

Turning point, ethnic diversity, discrimination, baby boomers.

Good job.

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

Here are the definitions for each of our keywords.

A turning point in history is an idea, event or action that leads to permanent change.

Ethnic diversity refers to many people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

Discrimination means treating someone unfairly because of things such as age, skin colour or religious beliefs.

The generation born just after the Second World War are known as baby boomers.

Pause the video here to make a note of these keywords.

And when you are ready to continue, press play.

These are the learning cycles that we'll be working through together in today's lesson.

What is a turning point? Increased ethnic diversity.

The 1950s and 1960s.

In the first learning cycle, we'll explore what a turning point is.

After the Second World War ended in 1945, life was different for people in Britain in many ways.

Over the next 20 years, lots of things changed.

Can you think of any changes that happened in Britain after World War II ended? Hmm.

Pause the video here.

Have a quick discussion with your partner.

Can you think of any changes that happened in Britain after World War II ended? Press play when you're ready to continue.

well, many of these changes were permanent.

Historians describe the Second World War as a turning point in history.

A turning point in history is an idea, event, or action that leads to permanent change.

Let's pause here and check our understanding.

A turning point in history is an idea, event, or action that leads to.

Temporary change, no change, or permanent change? Pause the video here and press play when you are ready to hear the answer.

If you said permanent change, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

At the end of the war, many babies were born in Britain and this is known as a baby boom.

This means that more babies than usual were born in these years.

There were more children in the 1950s, and so more schools and houses had to be built.

During the war, the government had taken control of hospitals to make sure everyone affected by the war had medical care.

This was very popular and so in 1948 the government set up the National Health Service.

This gave free medical care to everyone in Britain.

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

Who is explaining why the baby boom at the end of the Second World War led to permanent changes? So we have Sophia.

She says, "There was a baby boom and permanent changes after the war." Jun says, "There was a baby boom "which led to permanent changes after the war, "such as more houses and schools being built." So pause the video here, have a discussion with your partner who is explaining why the baby boom at the end of the Second World War led to permanent changes.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? Well, in this instance, Jun is the one that is explaining why the baby boom at the end of the Second World War led to permanent changes.

He has added an example to explain the statement.

This brings us to our first learning task.

I'd like you to finish Andeep's statement below and add an example to make it into an explanation.

So Andeep says, "Historians say that the Second World War "was a turning point because.

." So can you finish Andeep's statement and add an example to make it into an explanation? So pause the video here.

Give yourself enough time and press play when you are ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at an example? So your answer could include "Historians say "that the Second World War was a turning point "because it led to permanent changes.

"For example, the NHS was set up in 1948 "and more houses and schools were built in the 1950s." Well done for completing that learning task.

This now brings us to the second part of our lesson.

We're going to explore increased ethnic diversity.

Britain had been badly hit by the war and towns and cities needed rebuilding.

To do this, the government invited people from countries that had been in the British Empire at the time to live and work in Britain as citizens.

1,027 passengers arrived in Britain on the 22nd of June, 1948 on a ship called the Empire Windrush.

Most of them came from somewhere in the Caribbean, from places like Jamaica.

British citizens from the Caribbean who settled in the U.

K.

between 1945 and 1973 are known as the "Windrush Generation".

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

British citizens from the Caribbean who settled in the U.

K.

between 1945 and 1973 are known as the.

Caribbean Generation, Empire Generation, Windrush Generation, War Generation? Pause the video here and have a quick discussion with your partner and press play when you're ready to continue.

If you said that the British citizens from the Caribbean who settled in the U.

K.

between 1945 and 1973 are known as the Windrush generation, then you're right.

Well done.

Ethnic diversity increased in Britain, but people who settled in Britain from the Caribbean often faced discrimination.

They were given poor housing, difficult jobs and overcharged for rent.

The discrimination and racial tension led to violent riots in the streets in August, 1958, in Notting Hill in London.

Let's take a moment to pause here.

Looking at this statement: Ethnic diversity increased in Britain after the war ended.

Is that true or false? What do you think? If you said that's true, you are absolutely right.

Well done.

Now looking at these two statements, which would help to justify your answer? People moved to Britain from other countries to help rebuild it and did not face discrimination.

People moved to Britain from other countries to help rebuild it and did face discrimination.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner about these two statements and decide which one would help to justify your answer.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that people move to Britain from other countries to help rebuild it and did face discrimination, then you are absolutely right.

Well done.

This brings us to our second learning task.

I'd like you to explain to your learning partner how the Second World War led to increased ethnic diversity in Britain.

So pause the video here and give yourself enough time to explain to your learning partner how the Second World War led to increased ethnic diversity in Britain.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

How did that go? Were you able to explain to your learning partner? Let's take a look at an example.

So your answer could include: The Second World War led to increased ethnic diversity in Britain because the government invited people from countries in the British Empire at the time to help rebuild cities damaged by the war.

This led to people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds settling in Britain.

Well done for completing that learning task.

We're now moving on to the final parts of our lesson.

We're going to explore the 1950s and the 1960s.

Technology had developed quickly during the war and led to the invention of the first computers.

They were used to crack secret codes used by the Germans.

After the war, technology continued to improve.

Cheaper televisions were made and these replaced the radio as the most popular entertainment at home.

Look at that photo there of a TV made in 1950 and that tiny screen.

In the 1950s, lots of new electrical appliances were invented for the home.

These included washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and fridges.

Lots of women found that these appliances saved them lots of time at home and more women had time for part-time work.

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

Select the images that show improved technology after World War II.

Pause the video here and when you are ready to continue, press play.

What did you think? Which of these images show improved technology after World War II - TV, fridge, or washing machine? Well, the TV, the fridge and the washing machine are all improved technology that appeared after World War II.

By the 1960s, the children of the baby boom were becoming young adults.

They had jobs with higher wages than their parents and more freedom.

These children that had been born in the baby boom just after the war are known as baby boomers.

Lots of the baby boomers had more money to spend on things like fashion and music and these became very popular in Britain.

Fashion models and musicians became celebrities and had lots of fans, which hadn't happened before.

One example of a famous British band with lots of fans in the 1960s was "The Beatles".

You can see a photo of The Beatles there on the stage, all of their amazing, colourful outfits.

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

Can you select all the options that were permanent changes after the Second World War? Electrical appliances were invented to save time at home.

Fashion and music became popular in the 1960s.

The NHS was created.

Ethnic diversity increased in Britain.

So pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner which of these options were permanent changes after the Second World War and press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? Well, electrical appliances were invented to save time at home.

Fashion and music became popular in the 1960s.

The NHS was created and ethnic diversity increased in Britain.

So all of these were permanent changes after the Second World War.

We're now ready to have a go at our final learning task.

I'd like you to write a paragraph to explain how the 20 years after World War II were a turning point in British history.

You could include these words and phrases in your answer: fashions, NHS, discrimination, part-time jobs, electrical appliances, ethnic diversity, turning point, baby boomers.

Now remember, a turning point in history is an idea, event, or action that leads to permanent change.

So pause the video here.

Give yourself enough time.

Make sure you have a pen and some paper, and write a paragraph to explain how the 20 years after World War II were a turning point in British history.

And press play when you are ready to continue.

How did that go? Shall we take a look at an example? So your answer could include: The 20 years after World War II were a turning point in British history because there were lots of permanent change.

The NHS was created in 1948 to provide free healthcare for everyone in Britain.

Ethnic diversity was increased because people moved to Britain from places like the Caribbean to help rebuild it after the war, but they often faced discrimination.

In the 1950s, new technology was developed to make electrical appliances like fridges and washing machines.

With more free time, lots of women got part-time jobs.

There had been a baby boom at the end of the war too.

This led baby boomers in the 1960s with more money and freedom than their parents had.

They spent money on new fashions and music like "The Beatles".

Well done for completing that learning task.

Now, before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what we've learned about the ways in which Britain changed after the Second World War.

Lots of permanent and major changes happened in Britain after the Second World War, starting with a baby boom and the NHS in 1948.

Ethnic diversity increased with the Windrush Generation, but many of these people faced discrimination in Britain.

Improved technology for the home included fridges, vacuum cleaners and washing machines, which saved time for women who did the housework.

Lots of women were able to get part-time jobs.

The baby boomer generation had more money to spend on new fashion and music, and models and musicians became celebrities.
