Topic

Being British

Topic

In our topic 'Being British' we will be labelling key places in Britain that are important in some way to us personally - such as the home of a favourite football team, home town of a family member. The children will be bringing home a homework sheet that they will hopefully be able to record places in Britain that mean something to them, which will help with this map work next week.

Have a great week everyone.

The 1 / 2 team.
