Our Topic for this term is Big Wide World

This project has a geography focus and teaches children about a contrasting location overseas and how it may have similarities and differences to the place in which they live.

At the heart of this project children learn to write simple reports and learn additional skills of sentence writing and explanation. In the Innovate Stage children apply their skills and understanding by creating digital postcards of their locality.

In this project the children will learn:

• To use geographical and research skills;

• To find out about their locality and a contrasting locality overseas;

• To compare factors such as weather, geographical features, population and lifestyle;

• To use ICT and other skills to collect and store information including maps and data;

• To present information in a variety of ways, including ICT.
