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.

Yesterday, year 5 and 6 visited Cloverfields to experience the freezing polar region in the Immersive Space. The children enjoyed seeing the animals close up and personal, as well as experiencing the freezing temperatures.

Here we are showing our poppies with pride.
