Photos from Brambles Primary Academy's post This week, Year 6 have been exploring our world using atlases. They began by identifying the main lines of latitude and longitude, helping them understand how we navigate and locate places across the globe. 🌐
After that, we zoomed in on North and South America, learning more about these amazing continents and starting to label some of their countries.
Brilliant map skills, Year 6! 👏📚 2 Likes
