Geography in 5MO

For Geography, the whole school looked at the text ‘At the same moment around the world’ by Clotilde Perrin. 5MO were given Sydney, Australia as their focus area. We investigated time zones and worked out what time it would be in Sydney when it is 8:00am, 12:00pm, 3:30pm, 7:00pm and 12:00am in Birmingham, UK (GMT). We looked at a map of Sydney, explored Sydney landmarks and discussed/watched comparison videos of a child’s day in the UK and Australia. Finally, the children completed a comparison comic strip for the same moment in time for Sydney and Birmingham!
