Differences around the UK
- 1. Differences around the uk
- 2. about This Presentation This presentation was used in an assembly about ‘differences around the UK’. The content was contributed by people on Twitter. At the top of each slide, there is a word which is used in a particular part of the UK. The middle area shows the meaning, as well as the postcode / place name of where the word is used. We talked about the words and their meanings in our assembly. We also looked up the places in Google Earth to see where they were in relation to our school in Kent. Thank you to everyone who helped with the presentation. Mark
