Discovering the world in Year 6

This term, we are exploring the continents of the world! We started by consolidating our map skills; we have learnt how to use the contents pages, the index page and various keys. We have also reminded ourselves about how to use longitude and latitude lines to identify a location. 

During our first lesson, we learnt about Ibn Battuta’s exploration to Mecca and plotted his journey on a map. 

In this week’s lesson, we conducted a Scavenger Hunt by locating and plotting different North American countries on an empty map. Afterwards, we used the iPads to find an interesting fact about each country we had located. 

How many North American countries can you recall?
