The United Kingdom Project
This week the whole school project is all about The United Kingdom. The project aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn all about the wonderful island that we live on. You can take the project in any direction you wish you can write down your research, make things using your Art and DT skills, create a project book, PowerPoint or even a film.
Below are some ideas to get you started but the world is your oyster!
