attack are investigated by all
key stages. Local History is further
explored in the celebration of
Queen Victoria's visit to open
Aston Hall as a museum.

handling artefacts is used in tableaux,
role play and other activities,
and a range of other resources
support hands on investigations
and practical work in science and
technology.

and classroom equipment including
a recently acquired touch screen
interactive whiteboard running
bespoke History, Literacy and Numeracy
