Geography

Over the last half term, we have been leading all about the UK. We have looked at the landmarks in London and some of the places in Chorley. To end the topic, we voted for where we would prefer to live! Swipe to the end to find out the result!

This afternoon we learnt all about addresses. We have learnt when we would use and address. We looked at what each line tells us and why the postcode is so important. Some children were then able to say what their address was which really impressed us! We then wrote a letter home explaining what we have been learning in Geography. The children then wrote the own address on an envelope, which are going to be sent home if a stamp has been sent into school! 

This afternoon we sang a song to help learn the four countries of the United Kingdom and their capital cities. We worked together to match the capital city to the country. After that we programmed the BeeBots to move from one capital city to another. 

In our geography lesson, we looked at an aerial view and a map of a village (Wheelton), a town (Chorley) and a city (Manchester). We identified the features of each and labelled them.

Today we watched a video that explained the differences between physical and      human features. A human feature is things that are made or built by humans and a physical anything that is on the Earth naturally. We then sorted different places into groups to show whether they were a physical or human feature.
