In geography we have been looking at human and physical features. We used Google Maps to find London and to find the human and physical features of our capital city. We had great fun zooming in and pressing on the binoculars to visit the places as if we were there.

This week we have been discussing journeys we have been on and the places we travel. We have drawn the places that we go to on a map of our area. We enjoyed reading The Naughty Bus and have talked about the different ways that we can travel. We have been role-playing in our new red bus and using…

In Geography, we have been learning about maps.  This week, we learnt about how contour lines show us how high or low the land on the map is.  To demonstrate this, we made models of contour lines and hills.

This week, year 5 and 6 have been working on improving their map skills. As part of this, they have been identifying contour lines on a map and understanding what they look like in real life. They have even been creating their own 3D contours!

We're finally all back to school and it may be a little different but we are busy learning.

Already we have been investigating materials in science and brushing up on our skills using atlases.

Have a look at some of the photos of us hard at work.

To begin our topic ‘Town and Country’, we were given a map quiz and had to use our atlas skills to find the answers. Some of the mountain ranges and towns were tricky to find, however we used what we knew about atlases to search through the index. 

Well done everyone. You have all worked…

As part of our new topic, we have been using atlases to locate different parts of the Uk as well as using atlases and our knowledge of the continents to locate mountains around the world.
