The United Kingdom - A Tour of our Islands
Our Studies
In this geographical tour of our lands, the children will be using atlases and digital resources to locate and describe key geographical features of the United Kingdom. By the end of the unit, they will be more familiar with the location of counties and key cities of the United Kingdom. Using maps, they will learn to identify regions of mountains and hills (including National Parks), major river systems and the seas surrounding the UK.
This links to a unit later in the year, when the children will be focusing in on the county of East Sussex and exploring the diverse habitats and geographical areas that exist in our locality.
