Who are the Uros people?

During their lesson this week, the children used their compass directions and locational language as well as their knowledge of the land to help them explain which way they would travel to different locations. 
Using an atlas to support their decisions they located: Peru, Montevideo, Lake Titicaca, Stanley and Manaus. 
They then watched a clip about how the Uros people live on Totora reeds and their lifestyle. 
Using Venn  diagrams they collated the similarities and differences between how the Uros people and how we live. 

The children then looked at different artefacts, photos and clothing from Peru. They loved it.

They did a great job in their first lesson.
