Here is the long-term overview for Geography at Redwood this year. It outlines what the children of all year groups will be learning and how. 

Every Friday. Mrs Kirk and the team take the children out around the school site, seeing what they can find. Here is the display of their findings. 

In Reception FS2, the children went for a walk in Redwood Park. They looked at the changing seasons on the trees and collected different types and sizes of leaves. 

In Year 1, the children have been drawing maps of our local area. There are so many trees in Sinfin!!

In Year 2, the children have been learning about their local area and Tulum , Mexico Here is their Working Wall Display. They used maps and studied the differences and similarities between Tulum and Derby!

In Year 3, the children have been learning about The Stone Age, particularly the geography side of that era. Here you can see the wonderful display the children have created in their classroom. Lovely work!

In Year 4, the children have been describing and understanding the key aspects of rivers. Here is a fabulous piece of work containing all the technical vocabulary you need!

When Mr Wild & Mrs Holmes (with some Redwood children) visited China some years ago, they were shown how the children have regular earthquake practices, much like our fire drills. As Year 5 are learning about Volcanoes & Earthquakes, the Year 5 classes had their own earthquake drill. Here is the result!

In Year 6, the children are learning about the layers of the ocean and the impacts of plastic, climate change and over fishing. Here is a fantastic piece of work to show the different layers of the ocean.
