Water, water everywhere

A few of the children have been working on geography projects over the last couple of weeks. Our youngest has been recreating land and water forms in clay and with paper. Two of the older children have been working dilligently with a new piece of material for them - the pin or flag maps of the continents - one on Europe and one on Asia, based on their interest. It is concentrating and engaging work which the children come back to over days. It was nice to see the children doing their work together but separately and helping one another out; and it gave both children a real sense of achievement to complete the goals they had set themselves. (And it was intriguing for us all to see different spellings of Anglicised names.)
