In the Desert

 This term, the children are learning all about deserts. 

The children were introduced to the journey of knowledge for this unit. 

Then , they were given 4 photos to discuss which one they thought was a desert and which weren’t. Some very interesting comments and ideas. Which ones do you think are deserts?

All of these pictures show a type of desert. 

Deserts receive less than 25cm or 250mm of precipitation a year. Using a ruler the class looked at how little that was. One child commented that we definitely don’t live in a desert as we have had more rain than that this year!he was correct as on average England has 1200mm of precipitation a year. A big difference.
