Geography: Raging Rivers - September 2025
The children recreated the water cycle in a bag, and added the processes evaporation, condensation and precipitation to their diagrams.

Children in Class 4, despite the adverse weather conditions, were able to visit and investigate a local river, looking at the key features and processes, such as erosion.

Our trip up to Hartshead Pike gave the children the chance to explore how our school fits into the wider landscape of Greater Manchester. From the top, they spotted Oldham, Manchester, Ashton and, on a clear day, the Welsh Hills and even Jodrell Bank. A brilliant way to see geography come to life.

Class 4: Coastal Erosion - April 2026
Children investigated coastal erosion by creating miniature shorelines and testing how waves and currents gradually wear away the land. Through hands-on experiments, they observed how different materials and wave strengths affect the rate of erosion.
Class 3: Journey Japan - May 2026
As part of our geography topic, Journey Japan, the children explored Japan’s landmarks, regions, and physical and human geography. They created fact files to show their understanding of Japan’s unique features, including its landscape, culture and daily life. The children also made comparisons between Japan and the UK, identifying key similarities and differences. Their completed work demonstrates a growing understanding of how geography shapes the way people live in different parts of the world.
Class 2: Cities - May 2026
The children built cities using construction blocks.
Class 3: Lavish London - September 2026
As part of our geography learning, the children explored the school grounds to identify human and physical geographical features. They investigated features created by people, such as buildings, paths, fences and playground equipment, alongside natural features including trees, plants, soil and grass. The children recorded their observations and discussed how they could tell whether each feature was human or physical. A great opportunity to take our geography learning beyond the classroom!
