This half term has seen the children at Park Street study many aspects of Geography through the various topics that are being studied. We recently collected all the amazing learning that the children have been doing, and they shared their own thoughts and ideas of what they have been doing in class. The children were asked what kind of roles they would be able to participate in by studying Geography, as well as explaining in detail where Geography could possibly take them.

We had lots of fun discussing all the various learning topics we have been participating in in our Wider Curriculum sessions during the autumn term. The children were excited to talk about their impending trip to Whitby, linking this to their History learning. From Team CW to Teams LL and AF, everyone showed enthusiasm to explain all about the Geography that is taking place at Park Street. Take a look at the amazing learning our children have been up to! This week in Team EO, the children have recapped the countries and capital cities of the United Kingdom, reviewed their weather diaries and sorted different activities to the most suited weather type and season.  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.
