Learning and News

This half term in geography we will learn how our country has changed. From the changes in Coventry after the Blitz in 1940 to the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. We will complete the unit by looking at how Heywood has changed over the years to how it will be changing in the future. In science, we will be learning about reversible and irreversible changes and where we come across these in our daily lives.
