🌍 Year 1 Geography - Our Place in the world! 🗺

Our Year 1 Geographers have made a fantastic start to our new geography topic, Our Place in the World!

Over our first few lessonsm we have been developing our geographical skills and learning more about the world immediately around us. 🔍 We began by learning what a geographical question is and practising how to ask simple questions about the world around us. We explored a selection of photographs showing different areas of our school grounds and came up with some brilliant questions about what we could see.

🗺 Next we explored simple maps, thinking about how they can represent places on a larger scale. We had a go at creating our own maps of the school grounds, before working together to plan a route around our school.

👀 Finally, we put our observational skills to the test! We explored different areas of our school grounds at various points throughout the day, carefully observing our surroundings and recording what we noticed.

We have loved seeing our geographers showing such wonderful curiosity, asking thoughtful questions and developing their understanding of the world around them. What a fantastic start to our new topic! 🌍💜 #dcpspandas #dcpspolarbears #dcpscore #dcpsgeography ... See MoreSee Less
