Our geography topic this half term will be biomes and climates, which will focus on the great diversity of our planet.
To begin the topic, we have learned about latitudes and longitudes on the Earth, and how some of them receive special names. 

Children have built on their knowledge about the equator and the poles from the Autumn term, now learning about the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn. Children have also learned about the arctic and Antarctic circles. Finally, we have learned that there is a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere.

Children expressed this knowledge by using their imaginations with a balloon!
The balloon became our planet and the children drew on the imaginary lines of latitude and labelled them accordingly.
