Year 6 have been learning about the impact of tourism in our Geography lessons.  We have learned that tourism can have both a positive and negative impact of a geographical environment.  These impacts can be sub-divided into economic impact, social impact and environmental impact.  We creatively demonstrated our understanding of this by linking it to our work on mountainous regions in the UK and Europe.

Our vibrant information posters can currently be seen in some of the pop-up displays in Pelham’s stairwells – click on the link below to view Owls’ posters.  We hope you enjoy!

Well hello there ‘Herb’

We have a new hamster, who has temporarily been named ‘Herb’ (short for Herbert) and is named after a character in one of Lauren Child’s books. Having agreed this week that you all want to exercise your pupil voice and be directly involved in choosing Herb’s permanent name, I would like you to suggest names in the comments below. Everyone in my class (sorry Ospreys) can choose one name to put forward, so make sure that you are certain about your choice before you post a comment. We will vote to choose Herb’s name next week – all suggestions must therefore be posted in the comments by 5pm this coming Sunday. I look forward to seeing your suggestions

Your thoughts please…

We’ve just finished reading this award-winning book, which tells the story of a refugee from Syria who joins a Year 5 class. Written from a child’s perspective, it is both humorous and poignant, which results in a very powerful text.  What do you think are some of important issues that this book raises about the refugee crisis?
