LKS2 – Classes 6 and 7 – Geography

In Geography this week, year 3’s began by recapping the continents of the world. We looked closely into the seven continents, some countries from each continent and where on a map they are. We then moved onto investigating what a compass is and discussing how one works. The four main compass points were identified and used when we explored on a map where countries were in relation to each other. Then, we looked into the 4 diagonal direction compass points North East, North West, South East and South West. Finally, we explored what an OS map looks like and began to understand how to read one. Using an OS map and grid references, we were able to decode a hidden message.
