Geography - United Kingdom

Today we started our new topic in Geography - The United Kingdom. 

We looked at different maps of the World and looked at google Earth and globes. 

We found where the United Kingdom is on our world maps. 

We then zoomed in and tried to find the Isle of Wight on the UK maps. 

We were all surprised to see how small our island is compared to the rest of the world!
