Year 3 - Settlements
the children learn about different types of settlements. They study maps of Farsley, Pudsey and Leeds, discussing the similarities and differences between them. The class then create LEGO models to represent the four types of settlements: hamlet, village, town and city.
Year 5 explored the structural layers of the Earth. The children worked collaboratively in teams to create 3D cross-sections of the planet using colourful playdough. Through this hands-on activity, they learnt to identify and label the crust, mantle, outer core, and solid inner core. They used their models to explain some complex scientific ideas about tectonic movement and how the intense heat and pressure deep inside the Earth can trigger an eruption.
