During Team EO's welly walk this week, the children pretended that they were Little Red Riding Hood and that they were walking through the woods to Grandma's house. They were tasked with making a map from Litlle Red Riding Hood's house to Grandma's home. The children worked in pairs to draw their maps and thought carefully about what things they may have passed on their way to Grandma's house and included these on their maps.

At the beginning of the spring term, the children in AC began their new topic, 'How does where we live compare to South America?'. The children have been looking at the place where they live, the town that they live in, what is a city, the county in which they live, the country, and the continent.
In Team CW, the children have been making the most of the icy weather. With the temperature dropping, the children have experienced how the cold temperatures have affected the water in their outside learning area. The had noticed how the water troughs had frozen during the night and were now ice! They had so much fun exploring what the ice felt like. Here are some of their comments:
"Its cold," "Its slippy," "Water is ice," "Its icy," "You put water on it to melt it," "The water freezes with ice on top," "Its hard and you can cut your hand." This week Team CB have been on a walk through Wombwell as part of their geography focus. As they are comparing Wombwell to Brazil, the children explored their local area, looking at the human and physical geography features that could be seen. They discussed the history of the town and how it had changed over time. The class were fantastic at spotting local features and discussing elements of the town that they did not know about. This will help the class tremendously in the coming weeks as they look to learn more about how two places in the world compare.
Throughout school, the Geogers of Park Street have been very busy during the first term of the school year. Up and down the main school street there is evidence of everyone's hard work and their learning. Take a look at the wonderful displays that adorn the walls. A huge congratulations to you all.
