History/Geography

Summer 2022:

During the Summer term in year6, we will be looking closely at South America in our Geography Topic

Subject content areas

• Locational knowledge: Using maps to focus on North and South America, concentrating on key physical characteristics

• Place knowledge: Understand geographical similarities and differences through the study of physical geography of a region within North and South America. Understand the processes that give rise to key physical geographical features of the world, how these are interdependent and how they bring about spatial variation and change over time.

• Physical geography relating to volcanoes and mountains.
• Geographical skills and fieldwork: Use map and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and describe features studied.

Sustainability:

During the Summer term in year 6, we will also be thining about this key word and considering what it means - it will link to our geography topic and also to our 'River of Hope' work for the Platinum Jubilee. We will be considering ways to be more sustainable as a school, local community, and more world wide. We will link this to our text 'The lost Whale' who struggled to make his destimation in the ocean because of the plastic pollution within the waters.
