WORLD MAPS

We have finally had our large world maps painted in the playground !! There are 2 blank world maps now.1 is between the swimming pool and English / maths and the other is behind the Geography department.

Please feel free to wander over them as they are robust.

Can you identify the continents ? Which country are your year group representing in next week's Olympics ? Can you find it on the map ?
