Learning about contours in Geography

Class: Y3/4 - Miss Harwood Year: 2021 - 2022

Today we learnt about how mountains are shown on maps. We created mountains from Play-doh and then sliced them into pieces before drawing around each layer to create contours. The circular shape shows the highest point of the mountain making them easy to spot on the OS maps. The contours closest together show areas were the mountain is steeper. 

Year 3 can you find the names of the 5 highest mountains in the Lake District and the 5 largest (in area) lakes as well?
