Year 2 recalled the seven continents of the world using our giant globe. They then used maps in an atlas to locate and leaves the five oceans of the world. We then wrote about where the oceans were in relation to the continents.

Year 4 Geography
As part of our Amazon Rainforest studies, we used our knowledge of infographics to create one based on the Amazon! We learned a lot about how we might improve the quality of our information and how it is presented, and we can't wait to use these skills in our Nessie infographics in English!
Year 4 Geography
Our Geography unit for this half term is The Amazon Rainforest. We used an atlas to locate the Amazon Rainforest and its key features, also looking at the countries surrounding it. We revised our knowledge of the 7 continents of the world, and identified them on a non-labelled map. We had great fun searching the atlases for rivers, mountains and cities!
Year 6 Geography- Brazil Nut Life Cycle
In our Geography lesson we have been looking at the life cycle of the Brazil Nut and looked at the effects for plants, animals and people if the Agouti (animal that eats the nut) becomes extinct.
Nursery - Geography - Exploring Sea And Land Animals
This week we have been looking at different animals and the places where they live. The children did really well in distinguishing between the land animals and sea animals and were able to place them in the correct habitat.
Year 6 Geography
Year 6 have been researching about Rainforests for our Geography topic all about the Amazon and Brazil. We created infographic posters with the information we discovered, which included the layers of the rainforest, and the creatures which live there.
Year 5 Geography
In our Geography lesson this week we looked at the map we created on our field trip and classified the buildings we recorded.
Year 1 Geography - Capital Cities
Year 1 researched the capital cities of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales using atlases.
Year 6 Geography
Year 6 enjoyed a starter activity with inflatable globes in our Geography lesson. We had to throw the globe to each other, and had to name continents and oceans our thumb landed on! It took some thinking to remember lessons from all the way back in Year 2, but we had a lot of fun!
Year 5 Geography Field Trip
Today the Year 5 children went into Darwen Town centre to study the surrounding buildings. They created a map of the area which they thoroughly enjoyed. Afterwards we cooled down with an ice-lolly courtesy of Miss Meagher! Thank you Miss Meagher it was definitely needed. We ended our wonderful afternoon with a park trip where we created a variety of rubbings. The children were an absolute pleasure and represented the school very positively!
Reception Class -Visit to the Beach
Reception Class had a fantastic day at the seaside! The children took part in a beach hunt looking for different beach related objects, including shells, driftwood, a feather and seaweed. We also found a crab, a jellyfish and a dead seagull which the children were fascinated by! The children had a great time splashing in the water, exploring the sand and having an ice cream, even if one was pinched by a seagull! We received so many nice comments from the public about how well behaved the children were, and I agree, they were fantastically behaved and great ambassadors for our school!
