Published 17/12/24, by Nafisah MahmoodIn the UK, around 80% of the population live in urban areas and 20% in rural areas.
Some parts of the UK have many more people than others - Scotland's mountains and remote islands have very few inhabitants, while England is the most crowded country, with London being the largest city in the UK.
'In Geography we learnt about urban areas and greenspaces. Greenspaces are important for our environment to improve our health and our quality of breathing. Rural places are very calm and peaceful and there are many farm animals. Urban spaces are usually in the city area. They have many vehicles and very tall buildings. It is much noisier and more chaotic. I learnt that urbanisation is the increase of the population or the increase in building in a city.
How can we save our planet and green spaces? We can save our green spaces by planting more trees and building less.' - Zahra K
Read MoreBoy in the Tower!
Published 17/12/24, by Nafisah Mahmood'In English, we are learning about a book named The Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen. I predicted that this book would be about lots of buildings falling and causing a toxic disaster. In this book, there is a boy named Ade and his best friend, Gaia. Ade's mum does not get up from her bed and Ade is getting worried. I think that The Boy in the Tower is very interesting and very surprising. The theme of this book is falling buildings, and it was Ade's and Gaia's job to find out why.'
