Teacher - Miss Witty
Welcome to Swan class
Our project this term is Geography based and we are going to look at ‘The Americas’. We will be locating the world’s countries, using maps to focus on North and South America, concentrating on their environmental regions, key physical and human characteristics, countries and major cities. During this project children will look carefully at the country, its climate, its different regions and areas, its diversity in vegetation, its culture and how the population has changed overtime. We will be working on our art and design skills, using different techniques to create art work to present this learning. In class we are going to be reading ‘The Girl of Ink and Stars’ by Koran Millwood Hargrove. Our aim is to create an informative video to go on the school website.
