What is Europe?

 This week, the children have been using atlases to identify where Europe is in the world and the countries which are found there.

This is what the children identified. 

Europe is a continent that we live in and it is one of the smaller continents. 

Parts of Turkey and Russia can be found in both Europe and Asia? 

Some of the countries in Europe are land locked.

The largest country is Russia and the smallest country is Vatican City.

Italy is shaped like a boot. 

Lots of people live in Europe.

Europe is in the Northern Hemisphere. 

Well done year 4 some amazing conversations and observations.

Once the children identified these lines, they then compared the climate of the tropics to that of the United Kingdom.
