Cityscapes

Hop on the bus and take a trip downtown, where the lights are bright, and every street has a story to tell. This half term, we’ll visit our local town to look at important buildings. We’ll photograph urban art including graffiti, murals and statues. At school, we’ll write an information leaflet about our town. Using digital mapping tools, we’ll identify the streets and buildings that we saw. We’ll investigate cities around the world and find out how they’ve changed over time. We’ll have questions for you about where you work or places you often visit, and we’ll present the data we have collected. As part of our design work, we’ll build a model urban landscape, create dramatic light effects and find out how light is used to keep people safe at night. At the end of the ILP, we’ll create a sign for our town, thinking about imaginative wording and appealing colours.

Our knowledge organisers show the children the content, facts and vocabulary within their topic and are used throughout to guide learning.
