Using the Atlas

Using the Atlas is not easy! We learnt that Atlas and Atlantic Ocean are both names after the Greek god Atlas who was punished to hold the sky on his shoulders.

When we want to locate a city, river, country...etc on a map in an atlas, we need to use the index pages to figure out the coordinates and which map to use.

We were very busy locating oceans and seas around the world this morning!!!
