Team LL and AF are thoroughly enjoying our work on The Extreme Earth. we have explored the make up of the Earth and looked more closely at plate tectonics. Following this, we have looked at a range of natural disasters. We have focused on a region of the Earth called the Pacific Ring of Fire. This is where may of the plates of the Earth meet and results in a high volume of earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis. We have applied our map skills and geographical vocabulary to locate and describe the position of various locations. HISTORY FOCUS: We have researched a range of historical natural disasters and the impact they had on communities locally and on a global scale. Pretty fascinating stuff!

This week Team JF took part in a seasonal walk in Wombwell. The children were incredibly observant whilst being very sensible and safe. As they set off from the school grounds, they started to look at the changes to our environment during this season. The children stopped at regular intervals to discuss what they could see and why these changes were occurring. As they arrived at their destination (a large open field space) the children split off into small groups to explore the surroundings and hopefully tick off some of the autumnal changes. Miss Fury was so proud of the way the children conducted themselves and how engaged they were in their learning. When they arrived back at school, they looked closer at some of their findings that they brought back and discussed these. The children then proceeded to complete their science investigation pro forma as a class to present their findings. Once again, our curriculum identifies as being closely linked together with other areas of learning!
In Team EO, teh children have been learning about the weather in Geography, in particular day to day weather in each season. The children have also been learning about the names of the countries that make up the UK. The children have tried really hard to remember the months that are in each season. Team EO have also been studying about the hours of daylight and how these get less in Autumn and that the nights get longer. n Geography, we recapped last weeks learning on the day to day weather in each season and the names of the countries in the UK. In Science, we have tried really hard to remember the months each season is in. We have also learnt that the hours of daylight get less in Autumn and that the nights get longer. In provision, the children were challenged to draw or create the flags of the countries in the UK. Here is some of their fabulous learning!  |
