Current CRACKING Curriculum Theme

Our current theme is ‘A Very Victorian Adventure’. It is part of our whole school COMMUNITY driver.

In this unit we will learn about Victorian England and look at how the past impacts on the present. We will develop our historical skills, knowledge and understanding through learning about seaside holidays in Victorian England to seaside holidays of today, looking at how they are similar and different and using different sources to look for clues. We will also learn all about Thomas Barnardo to understand the contribution he made to the care of children during the Victorian era.
