Welcome to Chestnut Class

This term (Spring 2026), our enquiry project will be:

'What motivates change the most - love, power or religion?'

Throughout the Spring term, we will be finding out about how love, power and religion can motivate change with a focus on Henry VIII and how he changed the religion of the country in order to divorce one of his wives amongst other reasons. In art, we will be learning how it has changed to include digital images
