This week in geography we went on a walk around the local area to help create our own map. We sketched a rough route of our walk around the estate and identified human and physical geography on our way such as, a train station, the park, a golf course and a huge playing field. The walk really helped the children to understand the 8 compass points and they worked really hard designing and making a map of their local area using clear keys and symbols.
Also this week, despite the lovely heatwave the children thoroughly enjoyed the sponsored bounce and ...

Have a fabulous weekend,

The children enjoyed sharing all the knowledge they had learned in history all about canals and they especially enjoyed learning even more about canals.

Also this week the children have been working hard in PE. The children learned how to catch in a low position and this was quite a tricky concept to get their heads around. Knowing which leg was best to use was hard but the children all gave it a go and tried their best. They also played a ...
