Geography

We are currently exploring Geography and I have added a page to the blog that has some links to inspire. Check it out! Look at the tabs across the top.

Year 1 Geography!

In my Year 1 class we have been looking at our surroundings and discussing natural, constructed and managed landscapes. We took photographs of different landscapes around the school. We sorted the images into the three different landscapes and we found images in magazines of different landscapes. Today we looked at the school on Google Maps, traced around the buildings creating a map. We are having a blast! 

Our School Map with images added.
