Welcome to LA

We are all excited to be back at school and are looking forward to a fantastic first term. We have already created a display of the home learning has taken place during the holidays. What an amazing variety!



In our class we have some creative 3D models of LA. Both Katie and Emily have worked hard on these over the summer. Each model shows the layout of LA and includes facts about the surrounding areas.

Katie's model of LA.


Katie quoted, "I wanted to do something different rather than research facts, so I decided to put together a bright and bold 3D model that would stand out".

Emily's model of LA.


Emily commented, "I started looking for information on the internet and once I found the sign of Hollywood, I decided to create a model showing the layout of LA".


There are many other amazing pieces of home learning which are on our Los Angeles board in the classroom. Below are a further selection of pictures.





In class we found out more about Los Angeles and the state of California. Some interesting facts are:

California is the most populated state in the USA

California is the 3rd biggest state in the USA

If California was a country it would be the 8th richest in the world!

Los Angeles is 5295 miles from Blandford

Los Angeles has a population of 10.5 million people, which is 1141 times the population of Blandford.
