Y4 Geography
Yorkshire Wildlife Park – November 2017
Have you ever seen a real polar bear? We have and how amazing they are in real life!
As part of our Geography work about Biomes of the world, we have been finding out animals are adapted to live in very different conditions from the frozen Arctic to the hot Savannah of Africa. Yorkshire Wildlife Park was the perfect place to find out more and what an incredible day of learning we had.

Our Year 2 Work...
The UK and Ireland
As part of our Geography topic we have been studying the UK and Ireland.
To begin the topic we did lots of activities exploring our local area. We looked at a range of maps and took a walk around Hyson Green to see the facilities it offered.

St. Patricks Day Party
We then moved on to learning about the different countries that make up the UK. Again we complete a range of different activities which included looking at famous landmarks, traditional food and drink and comparing localities to Nottingham.
As a class we also had a St. Patricks day party to celebrate the occasion where we tried Irish Red Lemonade and Tayto crisps, we watched Irish dancing and listened to traditional music.

African Day
|
On Monday March 30th, it was African Day in Year 2. The children wore bright colours that reminded them of the colours used in Kente cloth.
During the day, they took part in art and cooking activities on an African theme. We made African masks, paintings of African animals, Masai necklaces and cooked Nigerian Benne wafers. During the afternoon, the children tasted plantain and yams and then devoured their homemade biscuits. |

Ipads
We have been using the brand new iPads at school to research African animals for our topic.
