Y6 Geography

Autumn 1 – This term year 6 have been studying energy and climate change. We have developed our understanding and learning in forming our own opinions of wind power and nuclear power, thinking about the advantages and disadvantages it has on the environment. We have also studied solar power and why this is important moving forward in the next few years. We furthered our learning in the use of petrol and diesel cars and how they can be changed to more electric cars which has more benefits on the environment and causes less harm.

Autumn 2 – This term year 6 have been learning about Ethiopia. We have studied the different living conditions within Ethiopia based on the amount of money each family obtains. We compared this with jobs that families have to allow them to be able to survive which can have many impacts on their lives over the years. We learnt about the time zone between the UK and Ethiopia, the temperate difference and the percentage of people living there.

Spring 1 – This half term year 6 are developing an understanding of changing Birmingham.
