Task

Answers will vary. The task comes from the lesson: Look at a world map or globe with a grown-up. Find Antarctica and colour it white or light blue. Find the Sahara Desert in Africa and colour it yellow. Then find where you live and draw a star there.

Look for work that uses the key words correctly and gives a reason for each point.
