Year 7 have continued their Geography studies on the structure of the Earth, building on their understanding of its different layers and the important role each one plays. As part of their learning, the children have explored the characteristics of the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core, developing their knowledge of what lies beneath the Earth’s surface.

As a recap to their work on plate boundaries, Year 7 have been filling out a table about what hazards are found at each type of boundary. Pupils took part in a lively and interactive quiz activity in the Fitzjames Hub. Moving enthusiastically around the space, they searched for key pieces of information and worked quickly to answer questions faster than their classmates. The challenge encouraged teamwork, problem-solving and rapid recall, while bringing their Geography learning to life. The children thoroughly enjoyed the competitive nature of the activity and demonstrated an impressive understanding of this fascinating topic.
