Tudors & Stuarts
 
 
This term we will be studying the Tudors & Stuarts. From battles and beheadings, to plots and plague, this era is full of dramatic events that shaped Britain. It was a time when England and Wales were finally united, England gained control of parts of Ireland and a Stuart King brought Scotland and England under one king. It was an era of adventurous explorers, scientific geniuses and political trailblazers.
 
 
Not an era for the faint hearted!

Looking After Our World
 
During this topic we will be collecting and recording evidence about how land is used. We will also be explaining why cities of the world are located close to rivers and how a location fits into its wider geographical location. We will also be looking at how we can look after our world through charitable enterprise where the children will have to make as much profit as they can by planning and carrying out an event on a budget.
