This week we will learn we will use information from maps and atlases to learn where water is and learn about weather patterns…
Here is something I would like you to do first…
On a map of the world (either on the Internet, in a book or by using a globe) can you locate and name the world’s biggest ocean and largest desert?

On this Map of the World can you locate and label the following:-
- The 7 continents of the world. (colour code these)
- The 5 major oceans of the world (colour these blue).
- The polar regions.
- The desert regions.
Here are some PowerPoints to help you learn more about the areas of the world…
You may choose to research more on these subjects and create a report, poster or your own Powerpoint!

Water has always been important to the human race and many settlements have been made next to rivers – can you think of a significant civilisation who lived closed to one of the longest rivers in the world? (clue – we have learned about them recently!)
Use the following video to write a report on how the Egyptians relied on the River Nile:

How can water be wasted? (Give me examples that you witness in your homes of water being wasted)
