For Miles Away Monday Year 2 spent the morning focusing on Geography. First, children looked at continents and cities, identifying the capital of Australia and where it is located. Next, children discussed different human and physical features. They had to sort different landmarks into human or physical and compare landmarks between the United Kingdom and Australia. They then moved on to learning about climate and weather. Children had to identify the similarities and differences between the climate in the UK and Australia, thinking about the equator. We then linked our learning to topic and learnt about Captain James Cook and his voyage to Australia. In the afternoon we LOVED sharing our learning with out parents and carers. We created aboriginal artwork, using patterns and shapes to create artwork linked to our geography.
