In Geography this half term we are looking at the UK in detail specifically building on on map work knowledge.

In this week’s lesson we looked at the countries the UK is made up from and then looked at which cities are part of those countries.

We used a map compass to find out which direction each of the cities were in on the map – We knew that the Newcastle was up North on the Map because we live in the North East. We knew London would be at the bottom on the map because we knew it was ‘down South’. We found it really interesting finding our way from one city to another using Google Maps and the atlas map to check our directions were correct!
