Year 6 revised newspaper vocabulary and looked at a newspaper article. They then identified words that they already knew. They then used a bilingual dictionary to translate the article. They then translated the article, writing a paragraph.
This term the children will be studying South America. Here is a copy of their journey. During the first part of the lesson, the children recapped the different lines of latitude and longitude they have learnt throughout key stage 2. Then, they compared four different types of maps about South America: relief maps, political maps, tectonic plate maps and language maps. Finally, the children used their knowledge of longitude and latitude as well as understanding that there is 15 degrees between each line of latitude on a map. Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
This week, the children were given a question to answer’ How are natural disasters caused and what effect do they have? There were some great discussions in the classrooms and everybody was able to discuss how the Tectonic Plates move and how this causes natural disasters,
