In Expeditions we were looking at the difference between England and Svalbard

Recycle walk
LKS2 walked all the way to the recycle centre as part of their expedition to find out how we can save the planet by recycling.
The UK and Svalbard
Building on our knowledge from the previous lesson, we’ve compared the UK and Svalbard which is a country we will be learning more about as we end out geography Case study and start the science work. We discussed how there are differences due to them being in different geographical zones. Even better that we were asking questions about Svalbard such as the distance from the UK to Svalbard, are you able to travel to Svalbard?
Human and physical features
On Tuesday, we spent the lesson discussing the human and physical features of Italy and Africa. The aim was to compare 2 places from different geographical zones and start to understand why there are differences between them based on where they are located in the world. We enjoyed finding out different information and we were totally surprised that Africa has approximately an eighth of the worlds population.
Similarities and differences 🌎
This afternoon in our expedition lesson, we researched Svalbard and the UK to find information such as population, weather/seasons, agriculture and education. We then sorted the pictures into our Venn diagram to show the similarities and difference of the human and physical features of the UK and Svalbard, Norway. We were then able to unpick why these similarities and differences might occur. We came up with some great reasons such as “the climate in Svalbard is colder because it is closer to the North Pole” and “there are physical features such as glaciers and icecaps which the UK doesn’t have”
Recycle, recycle, recycle ♻️
Today, we were super lucky to get the opportunity to explore the household waste centre in Carcroft. We were super eager to see if we could put everything we had learnt into practice and remember how we recycle different items. We found it super interesting and loved watching the JCB digger in action! Today was a fantastic experience and we are definitely recycling experts now!
Beautiful Work
In LKS2, we have been having a huge push on presentation and ensuring we are producing work we’re proud of. Massive well done to Lylah and Bodhan who are setting the bar high in Crew Shields
Geographical Zones
Today we carried on with learning about each of the geographical Zones and recording a piece of information about each one. It was good to see everyone being able to complete the map with the accurate zones.
Expedition
In Crew Haddock we worked together to sort out the past and present pictures in Doncaster.
Green Geographers 🌍
This week, we have been learning about different geography topics, including the weather and seasons. We started by looking at the seasons and which weather we can find in each one. Then we looked at different animal habitats and discussed which ones live in a hot climate or cold climate🥶
