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.
Today year 6 revised rivers and continent vocabulary. They then identified in which continent they would find a particular river. They then used a help mat and a given sentence structure to write some sentences, describing rivers and continents.
Our last session about South America and the children did themselves proud using all their knowledge and skills to describe what they knew aboutSouth America. Well done year 6, enjoy. Your Easter break.
