Jerry Clay Academy Geography

Year 6 had a fantastic lesson learning all about the parts of the river. They drew their own river then labelled and define each area @JCA_Geography #physicalgeography

Year 5 had a fantastic morning at their Yorkshire Water workshop! They built Lego robots 🤖 and programmed them to clear nasty blockages on their maps. Amazing teamwork and problem-solving! 🌟

Year 6 have had a lovely afternoon with @YorkshireWater. The children learnt how they treat water before it reaches our homes and then focussed on how to prevent blockages in our drains

Magical provision in Year 1 this week capturing the heart of our curriculum and fostering pupil agency #History #Geography #Storytelling #reading

Our Year 5 Geographers have been reflecting on urban history. They compared London’s skyline before and after WWll. They explored how the city was rebuilt and what architects had to consider when shaping the London we know today. ⁦@JCA_Geography⁩

This week, Year 6 enjoyed working teams to construct their own rivers. They labelled them and could explain what happens in the upper course, middle course and lower course. @JCA_Geography

Great for our children to create our new curriculum overview wall today with the guidance of @artworksedu All QR codes will be added to continually showcase our accomplishments across all the subjects in our curriculum ✨

In Geography, Year 3 compared the features of coastlines between Dover and Serbia. They discussed human and natural causes of coastal erosion. @JCA_Geography 🏖️🌊

Thank you so much for hosting ! 🌎

Great to see fieldwork and orienteering in action! Can't wait to roll this project out further across the academy - thank you to @StanleyGrovePri for the inspiration and support with this!

Year 3 have been learning about different types of land use in Geography. We learnt the meanings of urban and rural, then we compared areas nearby looking at different features. @JCA_Geography 🏢🌳

Lines of enquiry: Maps inspired from our story ‘What the Ladybird Heard’. Whole group modelling using google earth of our school. Followed by independent maps of our homes which included ‘ a long road’ , ‘a supermarket’ and ‘a big train track’. #stgroveeyfs #stgroveutw

Fabulous planning, collaborating & driving some great trust events through our curriculum networks this evening: 😊 Geography Bee 😊 Diamond Dash timestables 😊 Music/ singing competition 😊 Art week ✨Development of our Accomplish Writing strategy

In Geography, Year 3 have been using maps of Wrenthorpe to help us to answer our big question- how does human geography support our community? We debated which features of our local area were the most important. #oracy @JCA_Geography 🌍

Spring definitely felt like it had sprung today at our curriculum study morning at JCA. Wonderful to spend time with such reflective school leaders. Thank you for sharing the morning with us and we can’t wait to work with you all again #Collaboration #PartnershipWorking

Year 6 have had an excellent Outdoor Afternoon with @edensforestcic . We have deepened our understanding of volcanoes,earthquakes and tsunamis by re-enacting causes and effects and creating earthquake-proof buildings

In Year 5, we have been super striving to showcase our learning of the tundra biome. We have created fantastic leaflets to demonstrate our knowledge and to help others learn from them.

Some excellent retrieval from Year 1 at the start of their Geography lesson, showing their recall of names and locations of capital cities and seas of the UK 🌎

Fantastic to see oracy running through the curriculum. Great to also see different roles and opinions being explored !
