Revisit
Spend 5 minutes looking at the map of Europe that we first looked at last week. Try to remember some of the names of the countries.
Have a go at labelling as many countries as you can using https://world-geography-games.com/countries_europe.html
What will your high score be?
Main Lesson:
Write the date and learning target in your green topic book and underline them neatly.
L.O: Understand how Italy is divided
1.) First, start by watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5mpdzUlFmw
Write down some key things you notice in the video which tell you what Italy is like at the top of your page.
2.) Our lesson today will help us to think about what Italy is like as a whole country and we are going to ‘zoom in’ to find out how it is divided up into different parts, which we call regions.
Look at this map.
The white lines show us where one region ends and another begins....a bit like how England is split up into different counties such as Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire. Yorkshire etc.
3.) Can you spot how many regions there are? Try to count them. Write down the following sentence in your book...
I can see that there are ____ regions in Italy.
4.) Now have a look at https://online.seterra.com/en/vgp/3092
Just for fun, have a go at finding some of the regions of Italy – can you say them correctly?
5.) Now watch this video which shows an aerial view of Italy. That means it shows you a view as if you were a bird flying over the top of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_UTXHXTidw
I would like you to think about how the different regions of Italy are similar and different to each other.
You will know when a different region is shown because its name comes up in blue on the screen.
Activity
Over the next two weeks, we are going to look at some of Italy’s regions in a bit more detail.
This week we will start with Florence. Can you spot it on the map of Italy below?
1.) First of all download this powerpoint.
We are going to think about what makes Florence special. Look at the pictures and write down 3 reasons why you might visit Florence.
Task: Create a fact file of your own using a whole page in your topic book.
I would like to know the following:
What is it like in Florence?
Why should I visit?
How many people live there?
What would I see if I visited Florence?
You can use sentences and pictures to show me the answer to the questions.

Today we are going to think back to our designs that we made last week and how we might put them together to make a desk tidy.
First of all, see if you can answer the following questions about your design:
What does your desk tidy need to do?
Who is it being made for?
How will it be decorated?
If we were in school, today we would have played with some nets to see if we could make them into 3D shapes. It’s tricky for us to do this at home, but we can start to think about the types of net that we might need for our design.
Log onto https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/polyhedron-net-animations.html and watch how each of the 3D shapes are made from a net.
When you have looked at a few different shapes, I would like you to go back to your designs from last week and try to draw 1 more idea which uses a different shape to the one you have already designed.
Can you think of how you might use two different shapes put together to make an interesting desk tidy?
