Finally, in cycle A, we will connect to our immediate surroundings by investigating the economic activities, trade, industries, and settlements within our local area. 

As we start cycle B, we will explore a diverse range of topics, including the fascinating Victorian Era, focusing on Queen Victoria and daily life during this transformative time. We will also journey across North America, examining its geographical features and the cultures within.

Students will delve into Buddhist worship and core beliefs, gaining an understanding of Buddha's teachings. Additionally, our lessons on the triangular Atlantic slave trade will address who was involved and the reasons behind this historical atrocity.
