This term our history based topic is 'The Great War' and we will be learning all about The First World War: its causes, its features and its effect on the home front. We will use geographical skills to locate the world’s countries, using maps to focus on Europe (including the location of Russia)...concentrating on major cities and political changes 1914-2019.
