In Geography, we took a birds eye tour of each capital city of the UK, we listened carefully to the name of each landmark and had to decide whether it was a physical or human feature of geography - we were fabulous at this! Our Year 1 children then went away to complete their learning activity - they had to name the 2 pictured landmarks for each capital city and circle to identify whether it was a physical or human feature. We have some budding geographers!

We have really enjoyed learning about extreme weather and natural disasters. We have applied our map skills to locate places on earth where the tectonic plates meet. We have explored how earthquakes happen and learnt about the types and states of volcanoes. We have really enjoyed learning about extreme weather and natural disasters.

This week Team CH have continued working towards their Geography objectives. We began our session by enjoying our quick question quiz and consolidating previous learning that has taken place. Next, we enjoyed an areal tour of Northern Ireland. We really enjoyed talking about all the things we could see. After this, we introduced the words physical and Human features and gave children talk time to really understand these words. Finally, we challenged the children by presenting them with a selection of Human and Physical features for their selected country and asked the children to group their pictures into physical features and Human features.  Our learning this week has been based on homes. We have learnt about different types of houses and the rooms that we have. Some of our activities this week have included previous learning as well and have included making a box model house, completing a picture of our house with the correct rooms and furniture, drawing our house on a map, describing where teddy is in relation to a box and exploring the insides of a pumpkin! We started the week reading the story “In Every House on Every Street” by Jess Hitchman. We know there are different types of houses - flat, bungalow, terrace, detached and semi-detached. We have learnt to say that we live in Wombwell near Barnsley in England. We know that we can use Google Earth to find where we live and we had lots of fun on Tuesday and Wednesday trying to find our house on Google Earth on the IWB and iPad using school as a starting point. Our activities have all been linked to houses! In the creative and painting area we have made some wonderful junk modelled houses using the lollipop sticks to create the outline of our houses! We have been drawing and colouring pictures of our houses and we have been using the different construction resources such as the wooden blocks and Duplo to build houses – we have even been building different parts of our homes such as garages! This week for our funky finger activity we had to roll the dice, use the tweezers to pick up the cubes to build a tower! This week Team JF have continued exploring 'Life in the UK'. As we have already located the UK on a world map and identified the countries on a map of the UK, we moved into exploring landmarks. The children explored a number of landmarks within the UK and identified where they are in the country. From this, we started to think about how they were formed using the vocabulary 'human or physical features'.
In Geography, we have begun learning about human and physical features of geography. We know that human features are made by people and physical features are made by nature. Year 1’s then used the Odizzi human and physical features worksheet to name the pictured features.  |
