Term 5- Home and Away.
This term our topic is ‘Home and Away’:
In this geographical topic, we will first be exploring the United Kingdom. We will learn about the four countries within it, their capital cities and the surrounding seas. After a brief whizz around the UK, we will be homing in for an island study comparing hot and cold places. For this we have chosen The Shetland Islands, where we will look at both the human and physical geography with an emphasis on the coastal areas. Next, we fly off to Madagascar to compare similarities and differences in human and physical geographical features to the area in the UK.
