  Geography - Human and Physical features

  Posted by Mr N Kavanagh

  We have been looking at the physical and human geography features of the United Kingdom. We have been on a walk around our location to identify key components of a town and then looked at what made a town different from a city or a village. We then turned our classroom into an art studio to present our findings.

  Computing - Pictograms

  Posted by Mr N Kavanagh

  During this lesson we looked at the importance of effective data collection. We discussed the benefits of different data collection methods and why, for example, we would use a pictogram to display the data collected. They then hunted for mini beasts and recorded their data collection using a tally chart. They then used this to make a pictogram on a computer.
