For our Cultural Capital trip, Nicky Nook visited Williamsons Park in Lancaster. Children focused on compass skills and had to navigate around the park from instructions telling them to walk north, south, east or west.

Children then had to locate any human and physical geography as they moved around the park. We then compared two maps of Lancaster, one from the past and one from the present. We then discussed the differences between them and that there was much more physical geography in the past compared to now. We went onto discuss why this has happened and that both humans and animals have had to adapt. Children could identify that, because there are more humans now, there is more human geography. 

This week, as part of our Cultural Capital, Fairsnape
visited Rainford Wood to explore the topic of Plant
Nutrition and Reproduction. The children learned
about the essential things a tree needs to grow and
had the exciting opportunity to plant their own
saplings, helping to support the woodland

For this half term’s Cultural Capital, Oakenclough Class immersed themselves in our beautiful, local environment as they ventured into Holmeswood for a great exploration. Whilst there, they were looking to recognise the signs of the season and to see if they could identify subtle signs of Spring on its way. Additionally, the children enjoyed looking at animal habitats and observing different plant parts and leaf structures as an introduction to their new Science topic. Going forward, the children will incorporate their adventure into their upcoming English work as they recount their experiences of the trip. The children had a fabulous day!
