Geography - Hot & Cold Places

Today was our first lesson on our new topic - Hot and cold places. 

We looked at a map of the world and located the UK on a map and discussed the type of weather we get. 

We then talked about the equator and looked where this is in the world. We spoke about it being an invisible line around the earth. We talked about temperatures on and near the equator being hotter. 

We then looked at different photographs of places and worked out if they were hot or cold places. We then Located the North Pole, South Pole and equator on a world map. We had to decide if they were hot or cold places.
