Term 1 and 2

Over the first two terms of the year, we have been learning about North and South America.

In term one we learnt about North American. We used maps to locate the different countries within North America as well as identifying the different states within the United States of America. We also found out about the first settlers in America as well as the Native Americans. We created beautiful dreamcatchers and learnt about the special celebrations that take place each year.

In term two, we learnt about the different countries that are found in South America. Our focus for the term was the Amazon Rainforest and River. The children had lots of fun learning about the different animals that are found there and created information videos about the dangers those animals are facing due to deforestation.
