A Village in India : Charities at Work Photo Pack
Take your class on a virtual journey to a rural village in Southern India with this engaging Photo Activity Pack, designed specifically for Upper Key Stage 2 (Years 5 and 6).

The pack encourages reflection, empathy, and global awareness, offering a rich opportunity for cross-curricular learning in geography, PSHE, and RE.
