Geography in Skylarks

In our topic, Journeys and Transport, we have been learning about the United Kingdom including the 4 countries, 4 capital cities and the seas. We have also revisited the 7 continents. This week, the children spent time looking at world maps, atlases, globes and an atlas app on the iPads to locate the different continents, discover different countries and cities around the world and learn facts about these.

Today, the children have created their own globes using a blue balloon. They have carefully placed each of the continents onto their globe and have labelled them correctly. These will be referred to throughout our topic work this half term to help us identify and locate them. Next week, we will be identifying the oceans of the world and adding these to our globes too!
