@FrenchGaskell @ExploreGaskell 3S have been looking at Madagascar as part of our school's focus on French Around the World this afternoon. We found the country on the world map, discussing which continent it is located in, then researched interesting facts about it.

Using atlases and google earth to identify the UK's surrounding seas. We then used our locational knowledge to describe the seas in relation to the countries in the UK @ExploreGaskell

1B went to Wilders woods to notice the seasonal changes and identify deicdious trees. We also identified the physical and human features @ExploreGaskell @GaskellScience

Class 1M trip to Wilders wood. We looked at human and physical features for Geography topic and then went on an Autumn hunt for our Science work. @GaskellScience @ExploreGaskell

Year 6 have some great examples of retrieval of key knowledge in geography @ExploreGaskell

Nursery have been enjoying listening to different genres of music from around the world and talking about which country the music comes from and the festivals where we might hear it. Today was Bollywood .@GaskellPrimary @GaskellHistory @GaskellPshe @ExploreGaskell

Following maps in our outdoor area! 👣 @ExploreGaskell

In Maths, we have been looking at positional language and mapping, where we created our own maps of school and the local area. @GaskellPrimary @GaskellMaths @ExploreGaskell
