Geography
In Year 4, the children
learned important mapping
skills during their study of
Russia. Each pupil traced the
physical and human features
of the country and developed
their understanding of maps
by looking at rivers, mountain
ranges, bordering countries,
oceans lakes and capital
cities.
During the Summer Term,
pupils worked
collaboratively to produce
their own geographical
information books. They
researched and wrote
about the Earth, natural
disasters, the continents,
seas and oceans.
This year, Year 3 have located
and studied counties and
cities across the United
Kingdom and the world,
identifying human and
physical characteristics and
land-use patterns.
We created tourist guides for different
areas of the UK. We chose our own study
area and investigated some of the key
tourist attractions. Orla
The children looked at the UK
and Saint Lucia, developing an
understanding of
geographical similarities and
differences through the study
of human and physical
geography. This included
looking at types of settlement,
economic activity and the
distribution of natural
resources.
