Geography in Action
June 2024
As part of our geography field studies, year 5 conducted a traffic survey on Greens Farm Lane. Using a line of enquiry, some of us investigated the most popular mode of transport, while others explored the most popular colour of car and the most popular Make of vehicle. An enquiry question refers to a question that guides the investigation and exploration during fieldwork activities. These questions help us to explore geographical concepts and develop our understanding.
Year 1
As part of our Geography, we walked to Billericay High street and visited our local library.
Year 2
In Geography, year 2 have been learning about the World. They looked at the globe and identified countries near and further away from the equator. We found out that the Arctic is in the Northern Hemisphere and it is a cold region. We used made Arctic landscapes and identified both human and physical features.
Year 5
In design & technology, we made movable toys using a cam and a follower, linked to our topic on the rainforests.
Can you identify the cam?
Which animals can you spot?
Orienteering
Year 6- 2022
To help develop our map skills, we have been reading and writing four and six-figure grid references on maps. We also recognised different geographical map symbols. In order to apply these skills, we completed some field work around the school’s grounds using an aerial view of the school.
