Enrichment activity – communication skils, history, creative thinking

We know about the Reformation, The Swinging Sixties, the Ice Age, the Enlightenment, The Victorian Age, The Age of Steam, The Age of Imperialism, the Age of Reason, the Golden Age of Jazz, the Middle Ages and all the other ‘Ages’.

As an extra challenge which country in the world has a century known as ‘The English Century’?
