This week’s #GeoRead is: No One is Too Small to Make a Difference by @GretaThunberg.

A book that shows the power that one person can have to make a difference. A rallying cry to act to stop the climate crisis.

This week Y7 move on to look at our position in the continent of Europe.

Again using our #MapSkills to learn more about the physical features of the continent before answering the critical question – Are we still in Europe?

Within countries, population is unevenly spread. This map shows the huge east-west difference in China’s population distribution with the vast majority living in megacities in like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chongqing.

This week’s #GeoRead is: The Girl of Ink and Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave.

We love this book because it is centred around an ancient map, which is drawn beautifully in the books. A beautiful story of exploration and adventure.

Global population is not evenly spread. This map highlights just how large the population of Asia is. China and India account for over 1/3 of the world’s population.
