South America
The study of South America offers an in-depth exploration of the continent’s geography, examining its countries, cities, and physical and human features. Through mapping, research, and fieldwork, children will engage with key aspects such as climate, population change, and famous landmarks. This unit encourages the children to explore the relationships between human activity and the environment, linking their learning to global geography. The comparative study of Brazil and the UK allows children to draw connections between different regions, enhancing their understanding of both continents. As part of the inquiry-based approach, children will develop critical thinking skills and a deeper awareness of the world’s geographical diversity.

Summer Term Home Learning Challenges
At Knowsley Junior School, we know that children achieve their best when home and school work together. This year, we have developed our approach to home learning, informed by research from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF).
Our home learning activities are designed to be purposeful, manageable and enjoyable, reinforcing classroom learning, encouraging regular reading and helping children practise key skills. We encourage children to complete activities little and often, developing their confidence, independence and positive learning habits.
Please encourage your child to take part and use their school planner to record, share and celebrate their learning at home.
Learning happens everywhere. By working together, we can help our children develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive.
