One of my great loves in life is a good map so I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our topic lessons so far this week.
We’ve thought about what different maps there are in the world and why we use them. Our learning has then focused on OS maps, looking at what we can learn about an area just by looking at a map.
We found it most interesting looking at contour lines and what they tell us about the height of the land above sea level and where the land is steep or flat.
Next, we’re moving on to human geography to explore what our country is like and how different factors contributed to our success in the Olympics over the Summer.
