Year 5 2022 - 2023

Hello - Welcome Back!!

Investigating our world!

During the 'Investigating Our World' project, we will study Ordnance Survey maps to write a description of the local area. We will learn about contour lines and six-figure grid references to locate features on maps. We will also learn about the Prime, or Greenwich, Meridian and find out that Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT, is taken from the Prime Meridian.  We will calculate the time in places worldwide, knowing that the Earth is split into 24 time zones. 

Also during this project, we will learn about the human geography of the continents and locate capital cities around the world. We will look closely at maps, learning how towns, cities and countries are connected through transport links.
