Dear Parents,

We have now completed Theme 2: “The Cayman Islands - A Part of the World,” where we have looked at the Continents, Oceans and Our Caribbean Neighbours.  We have also started the practical part of our project in making the globe of Our World. To make this even more interesting we are going to learn more about the Continents.  Each child will choose a continent and research on the continent he/she has chosen to do.

Please assist your child with help needed for this research.  In addition, you may view the websites for additional information.

Due Date: January 15th, 2010

Exploring the Continents - Web Quest

The Seven Continents

Introduction:

We have learned that there are seven continents on our Earth. Did you know that they are all very unique and different? Wouldn’t it be interesting to find out some special things about each of the continents?

In this project, you will have a chance to learn more about one of the continents!

First, you must choose a continent that you want to study. Your choices are:

·     Asia

·     Africa

·     Australia

·     Antarctica

·     North America

·     South America

·     Europe
