London

This term we focus on our capital city of London. We take a look at the roots of London and why it came to be such a major city. Additionally, we also compare London to our local area and showcase the similarities and differences, and why this may be. Then, we learn about the British Monarchy, and top the whole thing off with a residential visit to bring our learning to life.
