Spring Term 1
This half-term our topic is “Flipflops and Wellies” a comparision of the coast and the countryside.
The children will explore coastal erosion, what it looks like, why it occurs, where it takes place
They will be able to compare localities in the countryside (linked to Whirlow) and the coast (linked to field trip to Flamborough), noting similarities and differences
They will use a range of geographical skills and start to understand the terms “physical” and “human” when describing features of a landscape.
As part of this topic will also be finding out the history of light houses.
We would love your child to have a go at a project at home this half term linked to this topic.
