Heathrow Primary School
Heathrow Primary School
Year 6
Autumn
This term, Year 6 have been learning about our local area, considering how it has changed over the years and what the future holds for it. Also, as part of this topic, the children have studied Ordnance Survey maps and how to use grid references to locate positions on the map, such as our school. We then researched ways the local area will be affected by the expansion of Heathrow airport before holding a debate as to whether this expansion is a good idea. Finally, we visited Harmondsworth Moor to learn about human and physical geography in our local area, observing the different land uses there and the affect of the airport on our local area.
