Thematic learning in P5 🌋🌍

29th Jan 2026

Our P5 students took part in an exciting thematic learning experience that combined World Around Us (WAU) and Numeracy in a fun and engaging way. The children explored continents and different parts of the world while learning how to use coordinates accurately.

As part of the activity, students created their own world maps and added examples of natural and unnatural disasters. They then challenged their peers by asking and answering questions based on coordinates, encouraging collaboration, critical thinking, and geographical awareness.

This hands-on approach helped learners make meaningful connections between subjects while developing their map-reading, questioning, and problem-solving skills. A fantastic example of learning coming to life in the classroom! 🌍📍
