We are Geographers!

In Geography this half term we have been learning all about the United Kingdom, its four countries and their capital cities. We can name them and locate them on the map! Our task was to create a booklet so that we could encourage tourists from all over the world to come and visit the United Kingdom and the amazing landmarks we have!

We had a go at recreating some landmarks after drawing and writing about them!

We also learnt what a compass was and why we might use it. The children were fantastic at directing Elma the Explorer around a map of the UK using compass points! Which direction will Elma need to travel if she is in England and wants to get to Scotland?

Then we learnt about the oceans and seas that surround the United Kingdom! We thought carefully about how we could travel to Northern Ireland! "We're going this way, that way, forwards and backwards... over the Irish sea!"

Finally it was time to put our booklets together! Here are some to look at:

Well done Geographers!
