Hello children! How are you today? Is there anybody from another country in this class? Could you find those countries on the map? And Euskal Herria ? Today we are going to learn about our world N S E W

Is there anybody from another country in this class?

Could you find those countries on the map?

And

Huston we have a problem! Can somebody help us? The map is a flat picture and our world is round, so we can represent better the earth (our planet) in … … a globe .

What are we going to do with this information? Make a chart about the Earth Complete and colour a world map: - Using the names of continents and oceans. - Using for each Continent the respective colour of the Olympic flag. Place in the map the place where you live, where you born and other three places you like or you know from three different continents.

This is a world map.

In the world there is land and water.

The world’s land is divided into five big giant pieces called ‘ continents ’.

We have coloured the continents with the colours of the Olympic flag: Blue for Europe , Black for Africa , red for America , yellow for Asia , and Green for Australasia .

The great bodies of salt water surrounding the continents are the ‘ oceans ’.

There are five oceans coloured in different blues: Arctic or Northern Ocean , Atlantic O. , Pacific O . , Indian O. , and Southern or Antarctic O .

This is Bilbo, we have chosen Bilbo because we live here. And this is …. We have chosen … because this companion born there.

This is …, we have chosen that city/village/country because it is famous for…
