Year 6

Welcome back everyone! I hope you have had a great Christmas break!

We are going to look at the geography of Cradley during this half term. This will involve us carrying out a walk around the area to see the human and physical geography of the area and record it. We will also look into the geography of the Black Country itself and how it has changed socially, economically and environmentally. The children will also get the chance to speak to someone who has grown up in the area so that they can get a first hand experience of how the area has changed over time. 

 Below is a great website for you to research some information about the Black Country and its History.

Our science topic for our next half term will be 'Living things and their habitats'! The children will learn during this topic how to group organisms and prove that they are related to each other. The children will also look into identifying different creatures and trees using a classification key and then will go out into their local area to see if they can find these using the key!

There is a great website located on the BBC's website for you to look up more interesting facts on this topic below:
