Knowledge Organisers

These provide the key knowledge we will be learning in our foundation topics this half-term. It would be useful to look at these with you child and talk about them. You could have mini quizzes to see what they can remember, draw parts of them, or they can create their own version. This will help the children to ensure they remember the knowledge fully.

History

Lynher Class have been learning all about the United States of America in their geography lessons. In these examples, Arthur, Elowen and Tilly have investigated population data and plotted this on maps. This allowed them to spot patterns in the population distribution. They then used their knowledge of the US to suggest reasons why states with higher population are mainly found in coastal areas.
