A project aimed at YR to Y3, but accessible to anyone.

The aim of this project is to find out as much as possible about some special people.  They may be famous or they may be people that you know.  Below are online resources for a selection of famous people and a list of possible activities that you and your child could undertake together to learn about anyone.

Some of the resources are links to websites that are not under our control.  Whilst these links were correct at the time of publishing, please supervise children's use of the Internet in these projects.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the History section of the site, please contact Mr. Davis at pdavis@becket.n-somerset.sch.uk.
