Year 6 have continued to explore plate tectonics and their role in making the Pacific Rim a seriously extreme place. we have learnt about extreme weather and revised key oceans, continents, mountains and a wide range of locational knowledge. We have explored how and why earthquakes happen and the human physical impact of these catastrophic events.

We have explored how and why earthquakes happen and the human physical impact of these catastrophic events. This week in geography, we decided that we would go out of school and have a look at our local area, Wombwell. We looked at the environment around us, we used our senses to describe what we had found and if things had changed, like the trees, the season and the weather. The children were fantastic! Well done Team JF! Our provision activities this week have been all about homes. We have been learning some words to describe homes including; detached, semi detached, terraced, cottage, flats and bungalow. Some of our activities have included using shapes and magnets to make different homes and buildings and describing their features, using wooden blocks to make buildings, using loose parts to make pebble families and writing CVC words with magnetic letters to match the pictures. During this half term our topic focus is Europe. To reflect this in art we have researched European landmarks and the country and city they are in. As a class we chosen five landmarks to focus on. We then decided who was going in each group. We have loved researching our chosen landmark and working as team to decide on the recycled items appropriate to our buildings. We have spent the last two weeks starting to create our designs with our chosen materials.  This week Team JF have continued to explore seasonal changes. To begin with, we recapped the seasons of the year and what the weather is like during each. From this we started to explore other changes we may notice. We discussed the length of the days, the clothes we may wear and what happens to the trees.
In Geography, we learnt to name the four countries and capital cities in the UK and we labelled the countries on a map of the UK. We identified different weather symbols and over the course of the week we have completed a daily weather diary to record weather patterns.
Today, SG worked in groups to begin building their own models of European landmarks. They've been putting in great effort, focusing on details, conducting independent research, and drawing inspiration from our artist of the term, Renzo Piano. Their models are nearly ready for painting! The landmarks they're creating range from those close to home, like Big Ben, to iconic sites like the Parthenon in Greece.  Extreme Earth. Year 6 have loved finding out about a wide range of extreme weather and following the news to find out about a range of natural disasters. we have used our map skills to locate places and different countries along the Pacific Ring of fire.
