2014 Geography
Climate and Vegetation
5SK are learning about the similarities and differences in vegetation patterns from the top of North America and Europe to the bottom. We are very lucky to have made contact with other classes in North America who have described their local vegetation via Twitter.
We used a fantastic site called Megamaps on Friday that allows users to print out maps in various sizes ( 1 page to 7 feet across) which was very handy when colouring types of vegetation.
