Where on EARTH is THAT!?

This afternoon, we continued our quest to learn all about rivers, focusing on the River Thames. We began by introducing the children to Google Earth which the children LOVED! They had the chance to first get to know the website. Children were fascinated as they could be looking at their front door one minute and then at the top of Mount Everest the next. We then focused our attention on the River Thames and looked carefully at where it began and where it ended.

The children then looked at the upper, middle and lower courses of the River Thames and produced a fantastic piece of work using the geographical vocabulary they had learnt about earlier in the week.

A very rewarding afternoon indeed. Great job, Year 4. Who knew you could fly around the Earth whilst still remaining in the classroom…
