World War Two and the Maya civilisation give Year 6 historians two very different challenges: a modern conflict within their great-grandparents' lifetimes, and a Mesoamerican society at its height a thousand years ago. These Year 6 history worksheets cover both units, combining recall questions with tasks that ask pupils to explain and compare.
Both studies fit the Key Stage 2 history programme of study in the England National Curriculum — World War Two as an aspect or theme of British history beyond 1066 (often taught through the Battle of Britain or the Home Front), and the Maya as a non-European society that contrasts with British history.
Use the worksheets to consolidate lessons, assess understanding at the end of a unit, or keep a topic moving during assessment-season disruption. Downloads cost nothing.
