History / Geography

There is a new history/geography project to complete this week! 

We have been learning about the Victorians this term so far. There are lots of very important people who did amazing things during the Victorian period - can you find out who they are?

To help you out, I have made a list of a few important Victorian people. You may want to use these or to research and find out your own. Please create a fact file about your chosen VIP (very important person). You could complete a fact file on one, two, three or more people. It's up to you! You may want to complete a poster, a booklet or to create your fact file on the computer using. There are some links to help you begin your research (please ask an adult before clicking on them) and there are some fact file templates uploaded at the bottom of the page. Have fun!
