Where would you build a city?

From looking at our country’s history, we have turned towards geography and the features that the UK has.

We explored a range of map types and inferred different information from each. From a topographical map to show land height to a rail map and road map.

After discussing features and why certain cities were located in certain places, we all decided to pick a spot for our own city. Here are the results!

Most people chose to build along the coast line to support trade for their city whilst some stayed inland near roads and airports for the same reasons.

UK topic: Why are we a United Kingdom?

We’re back from our Easter break, and we’re ready to get cracking!

Our new topic is all about the UK. To start off, we tried to see if we could locate some of the major cities in our country of England; we found it quite tricky!

After all that hard work, we relaxed with a game of County Snap! We had to match counties with the image on our cards. This was even harder!
