In this project children will learn about their local area and build on their understanding of settlement and societal change. They will use a variety of sources relating to significant past events in Birmingham and begin to understand their reliability.

They will also explore the influence and impact Birmingham had on the Industrial Revolution both locally and nationally.
In this project, we will expand our vocational knowledge and explore different cities in the UK, the land use in Birmingham and how this has changed over time.

Our trip to the Back to Backs will also be used to inform our understanding of how and why the housing structure has changed in Birmingham.
