Hello, my name is Miss Chorekdjian, I'm so excited to be learning with you today.

I'll be helping you with your geography lesson.

We are going to have such a great time learning together in this lesson.

Let's start our learning journey.

Welcome to today's lesson from our local area unit called "Where Do We Go To School".

This lesson is called "Our School in Ten Photos".

Today you'll be learning about how to use photographs to show important places around your school.

I'm going to use pictures of my school to help you think about yours.

We are going to work really hard together today, but I'm here to help you so we can enjoy learning together.

We are building on our previous learning about our school grounds, its key features, and using photographs to identify key places.

Today our key words are ground level photograph, aerial photograph, and label.

Let's do my turn, your turn to practise saying these words, ground level photograph, your turn, ground level photograph.

Next it's aerial photograph, your turn, aerial photograph.

Well done, finally, label.

Label, good job.

Give yourselves a thumbs up.

We'll be learning about what these words mean and using them throughout today's lesson.

These are the learning cycles we'll be working through together in today's lesson.

First, we'll be learning about what types of photographs are useful in geography.

Then we'll be thinking about photographing important places in school.

And finally we'll be thinking about how we can present our photographs.

We'll work through this learning together and I'll be helping you.

Let's start our learning journey.

Photographs are useful in geography because they can share a lot of information about places like where and when the photograph was taken, the special features, and how the people who live there interact with the place.

Photographs can help us remember what a place looked like, so we can see if it changes over time.

They can also help us learn about people, other countries, and other cultures.

Today we're going to be looking at ground level photographs and aerial photographs.

Here's an example of a ground level photograph and here's an example of an aerial photograph.

Pause the video now and have a discussion with your partner or with your class to think about the difference between these two photos before I explain them.

Pause the video now.

Good job, did you share your ideas about the different types of photographs? Let me explain them to you.

A ground level photograph is taken from the ground so it can be taken standing up or it could be taken even closer to the ground.

The most important thing is that it's taken from the ground.

An aerial photograph is a picture taken from above.

They can be taken from a satellite, from a plane, or from a tall building.

As long as they're taken from above, they're called aerial photographs.

Aerial photographs or aerial maps are useful.

That's because they help us find the main features of a place.

It's time for a little check now.

This is a true or false question, so I want you to think about this statement carefully.

An aerial photograph is taken from above.

Is that statement true or false? Pause the video and think about this statement.

Did you answer true? Well done, true is correct.

Give yourselves a thumbs up.

An aerial photograph is taken from above.

Now, let's think about justifying our answer and thinking about why it's true.

An aerial photograph is taken from above.

Is that because we want to see the tops of houses or is that B, to help us find the key features of a place? So think about justifying the answer, an aerial photograph is taken from above.

Which of these two justify that statement? Pause the video now and have a think with your partner or your class.

The correct answer is B.

An aerial photograph is taken from above to help us find the key features of a place.

You can see the tops of houses in an aerial photograph, but some aerial photographs don't have any houses in them.

So the main reason we use aerial photographs in geography is to see key features of an area or a place.

Let's continue with our learning.

We use labels to help find key information and key features on photographs.

Here you can see I've used some labels to identify the key features of my school.

So there's the field or the green spaces, the car park, the playground, some seating areas, the outdoor gym, and so those labels come hand in hand with captions.

We use captions to explain an image.

For example, a perfect caption to match this photograph would be, an aerial photograph of my school.

It explains what is in the image.

Now it is time for another quick check.

This time you can choose two options to complete this statement.

Labels and captions help us to A, see far away, B, explain an image, C, look at something from below, or D, find key features.

Pause the video now and complete this statement.

Did you choose B and D? Those are the correct answers, well done.

Let's complete this sentence together.

Labels and captions help us to explain an image and find key features.

Now let's think about what makes a good label or caption.

I'm going to show you an image with two different examples of labels and captions.

I want you to discuss with your class about which one is better and why.

So let's have a look at the examples.

This first photograph has got labels that say long, plastic slide and wooden climbing frame that is brown.

The caption for the image says, "An open space where children play together with their friends." So that's one example.

Let's think about if those are good or not.

So they are quite long and quite descriptive and there's a lot of information there that doesn't need to be there.

Let's have a look at the second example.

The labels say slide and climbing frame, and the caption says, "The school playground." So this example's got more simple information that's just the key information.

So there aren't long descriptions there.

Look at both of these examples and discuss with your class about which one has better labels and captions and why.

Pause the video and share your idea as a class.

Did you pick the example on the right, this one? Well done.

The labels and captions need to be short and give only the key information.

It's not the right place to add descriptive language like long or brown.

It's just about sharing the key information.

So let's go over these quickly.

A good label or a caption should be short, include simple language that others can understand, and not have long descriptions.

So it's now time for your first task.

I would like you to write labels and a caption for this photograph.

Remember about only keeping it short and simple and not using long descriptions.

Pause the video now and have a go at task A.

How did you get on? Here's my example of task A.

So the caption that I've written says, "The playground has sports facilities where we can play basketball and football," and my labels say the basketball hoop, the seats, the gazebo, and the goal.

So I've just kept it short without long descriptions.

You just have to remember to give the key information, okay? Well done for completing your first task.

You can give yourselves a thumbs up, good job.

So that's the first part of our learning today.

Now we're going to move on to thinking about photographing important places in our school.

Here are the most important places in our school.

Remember, I've used examples from my school, and your school might have these places or it might have other places which you think are important that you can discuss later.

So I've got the playground, the dining hall, the main reception or the school office, the head teacher's office, the medical room, the EYFS playground, and the outdoor learning building.

Can you think of any more examples? Any important places around your school that I've missed? Pause the video and discuss as a class.

Make a list of all the important places in your school.

Good job, so did you think of the playground, the medical room, the dinner hall, the main building, the EYFS building, the garden, the head teacher's room, the art room, the music room? Is there anything else that I've missed? Share that as a class and we'll come back together.

Pause the video.

Great, I'm sure you thought of more than that.

You thought of lots of important places around your school that the pupils need to know about.

Think about the pupils in our school.

Which places would be important for them to know? Why are those places important? So for example, if I hurt myself, I would need to know where the medical room is so that I can get help to make me feel better, something like a plaster or an ice pack.

So that's an important place because it's somewhere I can get help.

Those are the types of places that we'll be photographing today.

You can pause the video and tell your partner an important place in your school and why it's important.

Good job, it's now time for task B.

You need to work in groups and write down all the places in your school that you think are important.

Then I want you to photograph them using iPads or cameras.

And then I want you to write a caption and some labels for each photograph.

Pause the video and complete Task B.

Well done, here's a list of some important places in my school.

So you might have some of these or all of these, or you might have some other important places.

Here's an important place that I've taken a photograph of and here are my labels and my caption.

So my caption says, "The main hall.

We come here for PE lessons and assemblies." And the labels that I've written are piano, computer, stage, board, and places that we sit.

So we need all of that for assembly.

And then when we have our PE lessons, I've shown weather gymnastics apparatuses.

So I'm sure you've all written some really nice, short, and key information about the photographs that you've taken.

We are now onto the final part of our lesson today.

We are going to learn about how we can present our photographs.

You'll be presenting your photograph with your labels and your captions to other pupils.

That means that you're going to be sharing your learning with them.

They will give you feedback to make your photograph, labels, and captions even better.

Things to remember when presenting.

Let's take a closer look at these areas.

You've got to remember to speak slowly and clearly so that people can understand what you say.

You've got to use simple language that others can understand.

You've got to look directly at your audience so that they're interested in what you have to say and so that they're listening and giving you eye contact.

You've got to stand still on the spot so that they can focus on what you are saying.

If you are rocking or moving around, it makes it a little bit more difficult to focus on what you're talking about.

So it's time for another little check now.

Read this statement and choose two answers to make the statement correct.

When presenting, you should A, speak really fast.

B, use language that others can understand.

C, move around the room or rock on the spot.

Or D, look at your audience.

Pause the video now and have a think about this statement.

How did you get on, did you choose B and D? That's correct.

When presenting, you should use language that others can understand and look at your audience so that they are focused on what you're saying.

Well done, you should give yourselves a thumbs up.

Feedback is an important way of collecting information and reactions to find out what others think.

Feedback can be used to make improvements to make something better.

It helps you learn from any mistakes that you might make.

You can collect feedback by talking to others and asking them for their opinion.

Let's have another little check here.

This is a true or false question, so I want you to think about this statement carefully.

Feedback is not important, is this statement true or false? Pause the video now and have a think.

Did you say false? That's right, well done.

Feedback is important.

Now, let's think about why and justify our answer.

Feedback is important because, A, you need to know what others think to make improvements.

Or B, it doesn't matter what others think.

Pause the video and have a go at justifying the answer to this question.

That's right, feedback is important because you need to know what others think to make improvements.

Feedback can help you make your learning better, so it's really important to ask other people about their opinions.

Right, it's now time for task C.

I want you to present your photographs with your labels and captions to other pupils.

It could be pupils in your class, your year group, or your school.

When you finish presenting, ask for feedback to improve your photographs, labels, and captions.

Remember everything we've talked about when writing labels and captions and when presenting.

Good luck and have fun presenting and sharing your learning with others.

How did you get on? Was that really fun to present with others and to get feedback from them? Here's my example of task C.

So I've taken a photograph of the EYFS playground and I've labelled the climbing frame and the new water play area.

After I presented my learning, I was given some feedback from my classmates who said there was a lot of empty space in the photograph so the audience couldn't see the climbing frame.

So that's true, it would be better to get a closer photo of the climbing frame, and like someone said, "It's nice and new, so it's much better to have a closer picture of it so that we can see." That's really good feedback and it will make my photograph a lot better next time.

I'm sure that you did brilliantly as well when you were presenting and giving feedback.

Well done for all of your learning today, we've come to the end of our lesson.

Let's go through a summary of the learning that we've completed together.

An aerial photograph is a picture taken from above and a ground level photograph is a picture taken from the ground.

Labels help us find key features.

Captions explain an image.

Feedback is a way of collecting information and reactions to find out what others think in order to make improvements.

You've been fantastic today.

Give yourselves a thumbs up and well done for joining me today and to share your learning with me.

See you next time for more geography lessons soon, goodbye.
