Penguin Class - Year 5 and 6

Welcome to Penguin Class!

Penguin Class Learning Journal

Term 4  - Our changing world

What has been done to affect our planet?

This term we will revise the features of the Earth and learn more about time zones. The children will recall how to use lines of latitude and longitude to pinpoint places on a world map and learn about map scale. They will measure distances on a map and revisit grid references, contour lines and map symbols. Your child will learn about global warming and climate change and discover how climate change and extreme weather affect people worldwide. They will learn about global trade and find out about the export of manufactured goods, food or natural resources. We will analyse recent road traffic accident figures and carry out fieldwork to find out about the safety of a local road. The children will  also study patterns of human settlements and carry out a fieldwork investigation to describe local settlements.
