Mapping and Fieldwork
We regularly develop our important geographical skills such as using maps and atlases, locational and directional language, using aerial photographs, fieldwork and enquiry linked to our topic.
Year 6 - Grasmere
As part of their fieldwork studies, Year 6 visited Grasmere to climb Silver How, a fantastic achievement for all! While they were there, they compared the physical and human features to Orrell and later in the year they will do the same during their trip to London.
Spring Hunt 
International Day
Year 2 took part in International Day at the end of their Around the World topic. After learning about the different continents, they used their passports to visit different countries around the world and immerse themselves in the country’s culture.
