We will be using atlases to locate the UK and the UAE, with a focus specifically on Dubai. We will be extending our geographical knowledge to name the continents and locate them on a map. Dubai is famous for their super structures, so we will be studying them further, with the aim to make our own structures. This links well to our science topic as we have our own super structures to explorer - our Skeletons!

The girls enjoyed being apart of some Zulu dancing!
