Year 1
Fox, Hedgehog & Badger Class
In this topic the children will look at answer the question “Where do I live?”. Using geographical language, field trips and equipment including maps, compasses and atlases we will study our local area of Radcliffe On Trent. As members of our local community consider ways we can help improve our village and share our thoughts on making a ‘fair’ society. We will also identify where Radcliffe is located in England and learn about the 4 countries which make up the United Kingdom.
