Year 6 have been diving into the fascinating world of climate zones, biomes, and the interdependence of ecosystems. As part of their learning, they created their own mini-ecosystems in jars. Each jar contains moss, soil, water, and decorative items, allowing the children to observe the water cycle in action within their self-contained ecosystems.
The children also researched different types of ecosystems and investigated the factors that disrupt their balance. For example, they discovered how deforestation is a major threat to rainforest ecosystems, while pollution significantly impacts marine life.
This topic ties in with their geography learning on extreme weather and the effects of climate change. As their learning progresses, they will explore their own carbon footprints and reflect on the importance of caring for our planet and local environment. We link this to the KGA Trust sustainability strategy which runs across all KGA schools.
We are so proud of their curiosity and commitment to understanding and protecting the world we share!
