Year 5 Geography - Researching Innsbruck for a Travel Brochure
This half term in Geography, Year 5 have been learning about the Alps Mountain Range. We have studied the city of Innsbruck in detail, and learned a lot about it. We have even compared Innsbruck to Darwen! Year 5 are bringing this learning together to create a travel brochure, which includes geographical information such as when to visit and the climates in summer and winter, information about the destination such as the continent and the country, travel, tourist attractions and activities, and places to see.
Year 3 - Courageous Advocacy - All About Rubbish
During our Courageous Advocacy afternoon Year 3 were looking at the problems around rubbish. The children had a problem tree and a solution tree that they had to complete. They discussed what caused rubbish, the effects rubbish had on the environment and what sort of rubbish they saw around them and then wrote these onto the problem tree. Using the solution tree they came up with different ideas on how they could change things. They decided that things that would help would be workshops in schools about how rubbish affects us , volunteering in your local area litter picking and changing the packaging on some items.
