North America Hook Day
Today, the children enjoyed an engaging and enriching Hook Day focused on the continent of North America. The morning began with an exploration of the 50 states of the USA, followed by a creative activity where the children designed their own flags to represent Owslebury.
After break, the focus shifted to tourism. The children discussed the reasons people travel and how both human geographical features (such as museums and art galleries) and physical geographical features (such as mountains, beaches, and forests) can influence tourism. Building on this, they conducted research into popular holiday destinations, examining their locations and what makes them unique and appealing to visitors.
In the afternoon, the children explored the history of the original inhabitants of America, delving into Native American culture and art. To conclude the day, they had the opportunity to create their own Native American-inspired sand art, bringing together history and creativity in a fun and meaningful way.
