Welcome to Year 1.
Autumn Term
Our first topic for the term is Magnificient Monarchs. This project teaches children about the English and British monarchy from AD 871 to the present day. Using timelines, information about royal palaces, castles, portraits and other historical sources, they build up an understanding of the monarchs and then research six of the most significant Sovereigns.
After half term our topic is Bright Lights, Big City.

of the United Kingdom, including a detailed exploration of the
characteristics and features of the capital city, London.
