In Year 1, as geographers, we have been discussing the continent of Antarctica.
We found out that Antarctica is at the bottom of the world. We could identify it using the globes. We took it in turns to hold a globe up so our friends could find and point to the continent.
We also took it in turns to look closely at the globe and saw all of the different continents. We could all find Antarctica thanks to it’s other name ‘The South Pole’.
Once we could identify Antarctica on a globe we looked at different maps to locate the continent on them. We were all really good at identifying Antarctica as it is at the bottom and it is usually white.
Some of us were also able to identify the continent we live on as Europe. we could then find it on the map and globe and were able to show our friends where it is.
The children in Year 1 can name their continents and are very proud of showing everybody how good they are at recalling all 7 in size order.
