Autumn Term

Theme: The Place Where I Live

Focus: Geography and History

Geography

We have found out about the physical and human features in the local area. First we looked around the school grounds and then we went for a walk on the roads nearby to see what we could see. We saw lots of different types of houses as well as Pendle Hill in the distance. 

Next we sorted local features into Physical and Human. 

We drew our own maps to show the features around our school.

History

We have been looking at how our local area has changed. We found out that there used to be a farm here instead of a school and the houses around our school were built on the farmer’s fields.

We have been finding out how games have changed over the years. We listened and watched recordings of children playing games from about 70 years ago.  We talked about different games that can be played in the playground and found that many of them have been played in the past.
