Year 4 have been having fun making models of rivers with Miss Flynn in their Geography lesson.

Today we have been finding natural objects with different characteristics. Some were smooth, some bumpy, some long, some short.

In Year 6, we are finding out about trade at local, national and international level. We have begun to investigate where the items we buy are actually sourced or manufactured, and have been quite surprised to discover how far some of the products have travelled. We used Digimaps to measure the…

We went into the garden to look for signs of growth now that Spring is on its way.

This afternoon, Year 3 went for a walk around Dorrington Wood so that we will be able to compare it to the rainforests we are learning about this half term.

Every day, we have been checking and recording the temperature. We have even seen -2’C, we definitely needed our coats, hats and scarves that day! 

We have been weather forecasters and finding out the weather in the UK. Some children made cameras in the making area to record the forecast too. We had other children checking the satellites and others recording the temperature. 

In geography have been learning about the physical and human features of different countries.  In pairs we chose a country and researched it using books and the internet. We had to show the flag of each country as well.  We presented our information for a display.

We spotted lots of different houses on our walk e.g detached, bungalows, semi-detached and flats. We spotted Lancaster Castle and explored our local church, St Paul’s. We spotted the date 1925 on the Parish Hall opposite the church.
