Year 2 Geography Map Skills

Year 2 have been looking at journeys around the world. They used an atlas to find the seven Continents, the Equator, the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The children also compared the different climates around the world.

The key facts children learnt were:

1.    Describe basic features of different climate zones from the hottest place on earth to the coldest.

2.   Explain the difference between climate and weather.

3.   Compare and explain the different climates linked to the equator.

4.   Name the main countries and oceans that the equator cuts through.

5.   Use cardinal/compass directions to describe movement around the world.
