Geography L.O: To identify and recognise the main features of a mountain.

Activity 1: Click the following link to learn about how mountains are formed and to learn a little about some mountain ranges around the world. Watch the video, read the important information and have a go at the five question quiz at the bottom of the page to check your understanding.

Mountains (video)

Activity 2: A mountain has many recognisable features and each of these features has a specific, geographical term/ definition that it goes by. Open up the attachment titled 'Features of a Mountain'. When you have opened uo this file, you will be able to see a cartoon image of a mountain, with all its features labelled. Carefully read each feature label along with its definition. Once you have read each feature label, on the following page of this attachment is a video link. Open this video link and take a look at each feature on a real mountain (I'm sure you will recognise many of these features). I have also attached this video below if the link does not open.

 

 

Activity 3: On the final page of this attachment, you may have noticed a task titled 'What Part is It?'. Below, I have attached a Bronze, Silver and Gold activity. For the Bronze and Silver task, I would like you to use the mountain features to the right of the activity page to draw and label a picture of a mountain in as much detail as you can. For the Gold task, I would like you to do the same, however, you only have the definition of each feature on the right of your page, so you will need to figure out which feature these are before you can use them to draw and label your very own mountain.

P.E.

At a time where we all find ourselves indoors for the most of the day, we should bare in mind how important daily exercise is for our health and wellbeing, particularly our mental health. If you are able to, take your device somewhere with plenty of space (even the garden on a nice sunny day) or clear some space in front of your computer and follow along with Joe Wicks for a 30 minute workout. I will definitely be doing the same!
