Valentines day paper aeroplane activity

This is a fun paper aeroplane activity I designed for my students to capture their reflections on valentines day but with a geographical twist. It serves as a reflection activity on what they have LOVED studying this year and also touches on connectedness and the importance of place. There are spaces on the wings to contemplate the following:

• What top 3 places in the world have a special connection to you?
• What things have you LOVED learning in geography so far?
• What are you most proud of this year?
• You make my world bigger…who are your positive influences.

By the end of this activity, students will be able to:

• Reflect on their personal learning journey in geography.
• Identify places that are meaningful to them and explain why.
• Describe key geographical topics they have enjoyed studying.
• Recognise positive influences that have shaped their understanding of the world.
• Develop a sense of place, identity, and geographical connectedness.
• Communicate ideas creatively using written reflection.
