A Knowledge Organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the unit Geography, Year 3, Who lives in Antarctica?
This resource is designed to support children as they investigate the remote continent of Antarctica, its unique physical features and human interactions. It introduces key vocabulary such as ice shelf, iceberg, climate zone, treaty, and direction, alongside important concepts like lines of latitude and longitude and the Antarctic Treaty. Pupils learn that while no one lives in Antarctica permanently, scientists and tourists visit, and that the continent experiences harsh climates, blizzards and even has an active volcano. The unit also includes a historical perspective through the explorer Ernest Shackleton. It is ideal for developing geographical understanding through global context and enquiry-based learning.
