Home Learning: “Amazing Landscapes”Find an amazing / beautiful / incredible landscape but…
don’t just “amazing landscape”
Try… Desert Icebergs Rainforest Mountains Urban Rural Iceland Glaciers, Prairie Rockies Patagonia etc…
Make your teacher want to go there by describing the place in as much detail as you can using ideas from today’s lesson.

Print a photograph of the place on a separate sheet for your notes.
