The Year 7s have been focusing on what a process is and how we need to understand a process to have knowledge of change. To do this the students have learnt about four specific river landforms and how they are formed. For the students to show their knowledge of a process they completed an i-spy guide to river landforms.
Year 7 - Wonderful World
The Year 7 have been exploring how nature can make wonderful landforms. The students were taught how weathering and erosion are the processes behind the formation and they were then asked to investigate a landform that they considered wonderful. The students created a model and research portfolio. The project culminated in a sharing of places across the English and French Individuals and Societies groups. Well done to all involved.
Year 7 - Merveilles du monde
Au cours de l'unité "Merveilles du monde", les élèves de la classe 7 en Individus et Sociétés ont réalisé de superbes travaux sur les lieux extraordinaires de notre planète. Le projet "Quel monde extraordinaire !" a été basé sur un travail effectué en classe sur les outils de la géographie (coordonnées géographiques, étude de paysages...). Pour réaliser ce projet, chaque élève a choisi le lieu extraordinaire de son choix puis il a effectué des recherches et recueilli des informations en suivant des consignes précises. Tous ont réalisé une présentation de leur lieu merveilleux et un élément créatif : dessin, maquette, vidéo... Chaque élève s'est investi dans la réalisation de ce grand projet. Vous trouverez ci-dessous de nombreuses présentations et créations réalisées avec soin par certains élèves de classe 7 (I&S in French ) :
Year 7 - Wonderful World
Mr. Reid's group presenting their 'Wonderful World' projects. This is the final step of finding out how amazing features are created.
Year 7 - Wonderful World
The Year 7s have been investigating a landform that they find wonderful that has been carved by ice or by water or by both. The students then completed a grid of information that included the location to how the landform may change in 100 years time. Examples of the students grids can be found below:

Year 7 - Wonderful World
Year 7 have been working very hard on finding out a very specific natural place that has been created by water or by ice or by both. This project culminated in the students creating a model of their landform and presenting their research to a selection of their peers. The images below show Ms. Mart and Ms. Ogden's groups engaged in trying to convince each other which place should be classified as the most wonderful.
Year 7 - Descriptive Maps
The students in Year 7 have been learning about the importance of writing detailed descriptions. They have done this so that they can describe events throughout history in detail as well as describe how wonderful the world around them can be. To learn how to do this the students wrote a description of how they get to school focusing on the main turns, buildings and parks they pass. Students wrote up their routes and illustrated them with simple diagrams of the key landmarks.

Year 7 - River Landforms
Understand the idea of a 'process' the students in Year 7 have been exploring the different landforms created in a river by water. They have learnt the difference between weathering and erosion. They were then asked to complete a 'i-spy' guide which described four different river landforms along with an explanation of how the feature was formed.
Year 7 - Using Virtual Reality Googles
To explore the wonderful environment of Yosemite National Park, USA the students have been using the 360 degree virtual reality goggles. Students were looking at the landscape as well as evidence of how the landforms were created. Photographs of the students in class using the goggles can be found below.
Year 7 - My Wonderful World
Year 7 are currently looking at what makes the natural world around them wonderful. To start the unit off students explored a natural feature in the place that they were born. They were asked to describe the feature, say how they thought it had been formed and how it is used to today. The students created an A4 leaflet on their findings some of which are now on display in Room 506 as well as below.
