These past few weeks, we have been learning about the geography of the UK. The children have learnt about cities, counties and regions and have explored some of the human and physical landmarks that can be found in the UK’s four nations. Most recently, the children explored the topography (the lay of the land) and discovered that Scotland, Wales and the North West of England are much more hilly of even mountainous than the South East and around where we live! To help children see how topography can be shown on a map, the children created their very own 3D ‘contour island’, with different colours representing the different heights of the land. They did a fantastic job with these!
