Lesson video

Hi, everyone.

I'm Miss Harris, welcome to today's geography lesson.

We are continuing our work looking at oceans and seas.

Today's question is here, where are the world's oceans? We are going to find out today.

Now, we are going to be recapping the seven continents.

We're going to be looking at the location of the oceans on a map.

We're going to be learning what the map is because we're going to do lots of map reading today.

We're going to look at the size of a sea compared to the ocean and what a sea is.

And then we're going to compare a sea to an ocean.

Now today, we are going to be geographers.

Can you remember what a geographer is? Geographers are types of scientists who study the earth, the land and the people.

Well done, let's do that again.

Can you join in this time? Geographers are types of scientists who study the earth, the land and the people.

Great job.

You are going to need your exercise book or a piece of paper, a pencil, a coloured pen or pencil to do some marking to make sure your answers are right, and you're going to need your brain.

Have you got your brain? Can you just check it's in there? Can you turn your brain to geographer mode? Press this button here.

Is your brain in geographer mode now? Good, then you're ready to start today.

Now these words are our star words.

These are the important words, we're going to practise this lesson, we're going to be saying them a lot.

So let's practise saying them.

We're going to do something called my turn, your turn.

So I say it, then you say it.

And you're going to speak to your screen just like I am.

Ready? Oceans.

Your turn.

Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern, Arctic, Arctic, continent.

Well done, good practising.

Now, what is an ocean? Can you remember? So an is a huge body of.

Can you see the pictures above the words? I would like you to write down what an ocean is by writing this whole sentence and filling in the gaps.

Do you think you could do that? Great.

So pause the video, have a go at that question now.

Well done, let's check our answers.

So you're going to need your coloured pen or pencil to do some ticking or some fixing.

Now, if you got it wrong, then that's okay.

That's what the coloured pencil or pen is for.

So you can put a neat line through it and write the correct answer above it.

Miss Harris always gets things wrong, so don't worry about it.

So, an ocean is a huge body of salt water.

Did you get those right? Well done.

Now if you didn't get them right, that's okay.

You can pause the video now and check your answers using your coloured pen to remember you're going to put a line through it and write it at the top.

Do that now.

Fantastic.

Now, let's order the oceans in size from their largest to the smallest.

The largest ocean is the Pacific Ocean.

And you can see I've already written that at the top for you.

Can you write down now, the other oceans in order from largest to smallest.

Pause the video, have a go at that now.

Okay, let's check our answers.

Now, you might have some spelling mistakes and that's okay because these words are quite tricky to spell.

So we have got the Atlantic Ocean.

Then the Indian Ocean.

Well done.

Then the Southern Ocean.

And lastly, we've got the Arctic Ocean.

And if you got some of those wrong, that's okay.

Pause the video, use your coloured pencil to check your answers.

Well done.

Take a look at these pictures here.

What is the girl holding? Is a map, well done.

A map is a drawing of an area that helps us find our way.

We're going to look at a few different types of maps.

But remember, a map is a drawing of an area.

It helps us find our way.

So first what we've got is a road map.

A road map helps us to find our way.

By the routes it shows all the roads around your area, or around the country.

We then got something called a park map.

So here I've got Bushy Park, which is in London.

It shows how big the park is, and it shows you where you can go and walk through it.

We've then got world maps.

So this is a picture of the whole of our earth, our world.

And you can see all the different lands that we have.

Then we've got a countries map.

The countries map shows where the different countries are, we can see there's lots of colours here to show us the different types of countries.

We then got a building map, which is a map of a building.

It shows us where to go, what floor and the rooms there are and the size of the rooms as well sometimes.

So, pursue that knowledge to a test to check that you were listening really carefully.

Use your finger to connect their word to the pictures.

The first one, road map.

Can you find the road map from the pictures? Can you do that with the other ones too? So pause the video and connect the word to the picture.

Well done, let's check that we've got those right.

So, road map, countries map, park map, world map.

Well done.

So here is the map of the oceans.

How many oceans are there again? There are five.

How many oceans? Five oceans, well done.

So take a look here, we have got the Pacific Ocean.

Now it's on my map twice but that doesn't mean that there are two Pacific oceans.

If I show you my globe, let me just grab my globe.

It's just beside me.

If I show you on my globe, you can see here that the Pacific Ocean is a huge part of our.

here.

It takes up almost half of our globe here, the one that I've got in my hand, is huge.

So on one side, we have got North America and South America here.

Then if I turn it, we then come to Australia or Australasia, and Asia at the top here.

So that's why on my map, you can see that it's on there twice.

Not because there is two, but because the way that the map is shown, the map is flat.

So there are two parts of it 'cause it's almost like it's chopped down the middle.

We then got Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.

So we've got five oceans there.

So we can see here on my coloured map, that I've got the oceans, and there's a bit of blue around them so you know that they're oceans.

We're now going to recap the continents.

A continent is a large area of land.

Let's see which continents we've got.

So we've got North America, the light green, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia or Australasia or Oceania, whichever one you want to call it, and Antarctic.

Now these are our continents, they are the areas of land.

Now, this is a picture of a map to show us where the continents are.

But that doesn't mean that the continent Europe where we live, that doesn't mean that everywhere is red.

It's just the picture of the map to help us understand where they are.

Now, here when we map, I've got rid of the yellow behind the continents, you can just see the oceans there with the blue writing, the black writing with a blue background.

I'm going to say an ocean and I want you to find it.

Then we are going to look at the continents around it, the areas of land around the ocean.

And we're going to write some of those down.

Okay? So first, I would like you to find the Atlantic Ocean.

So look at the map, find the Atlantic Ocean.

Have you found it? Keep checking.

If you found it, keep your finger on it.

Now, because this is our first one, I'm going to tell you the answer to this one.

The Atlantic Ocean is here.

Can you spot my arrows around it? My arrows are pointing to the continents which are around the ocean.

And around the Atlantic Ocean we have got North America, South America, Europe and Africa.

So in your books in a moment, I'm going to ask you to write down three continents which are around the Atlantic Ocean.

But I'm going to change the map to make it a bit trickier.

So take a closer look at the continents around us, keep your eyes on where the Atlantic Ocean is.

Are you ready? So now, can you find and write down three continents which surround the Atlantic Ocean? So and surround the Atlantic Ocean.

Pause the video, have a go at that now.

Okay, to get your coloured pencil.

So you could have said, North America, give yourself a tick if you wrote that down.

You could have said South America.

You could have said Europe.

Or you could have said Africa.

So you could have said three of those.

Well done.

Now back to the coloured map.

I'm going to ask you to find another ocean.

So you're going to get your finger, is your finger ready? Find the Indian Ocean.

It begins with an I, Indian Ocean, find it.

Have you found it? Keep your finger on it.

Okay, now the Indian Ocean is here.

And you can see my arrows have popped up again and it points to the continents which surround it.

So you can see we have got Africa, Asia, Australia, which surround the Indian Ocean.

Now get your pencil ready, I'm going to ask you to write down three continents which surround it, surround the Indian Ocean.

I'm going to change the map, so get ready.

Can you write down three continents which surround the Indian Ocean? Pause the video, have a go at that now.

Well done.

So you could have said, Africa, Asia and Australia.

Give yourself a tick if you wrote those three down.

Well done.

Next one, back to the coloured map.

Get your finger ready, you're getting really good at this now.

Can you find the Southern Ocean? It begins with the S, Southern Ocean, find it.

Keep your finger on it when you find it.

So the Southern Ocean is here at the bottom, the Southern Ocean surrounds only one continent.

It surrounds Antarctica, which is the South Pole.

So if I show you on my globe, here's our globe.

Antarctica is here, the bottom.

So where the light is on my globe, it looks a bit different.

But this here, this part of the land is Antarctica.

The Southern Ocean flows all the way around it, just this continent.

So the Southern Ocean goes around the continent.

But on the map it's flat.

It just looks like it's along the top, but it goes all the way around Antarctica.

So now, can you write down the continent that the Southern Ocean surrounds? Pause the video, have a go at that now.

Great job.

So the correct answer is Antarctica, well done.

Two more oceans to go.

Can you find the Pacific Ocean? Begins with a P.

Can you find it? Pacific ocean.

As I mentioned before, the Pacific Ocean comes up twice on our map because it's flat, but on our globe we know the Pacific Ocean is huge, is a huge area.

So, you could have said either this side or the other side because all our map is flat so that's where we can see that's why it's on there twice.

Can you point to a continent that you can see the Pacific Ocean is next to? So you could have said North America, South America, Asia over the other side, or Australia.

So keep your eye and your finger on the Pacific Ocean.

Can you write down three continents which surround the Pacific Ocean? Pause the video, have a go at that now.

Okay, you could have said North America, South America, Asia or Australia.

Well done, you are working so hard and I know this is really tricky because we've never done anything like this before.

But you are trying so hard so give yourself a little pat on the back.

Now we are going to do the last ocean now.

I would like you to find the Arctic Ocean, begins with an A.

Arctic.

Use your finger, find it.

So the Arctic Ocean is right at the top of the map.

Did you find it? Good.

Now, because this map is flat, it's hard to see what continents surround it.

Almost like when we look to Antarctica, where it's at the bottom because our Earth is round, is a sphere shape, but our map is flat.

So it's harder to see.

The Arctic is actually surrounded by North America, Europe and Asia.

But if I show you a picture of our globe if we're looking down at it, like if we're looking at my globe like this, we look down to the earth.

You can see that we've got North America, we've got Asia and Europe.

So let's take a look at Miss Harris's globe.

So if I look down at it like this, you can see that we've got all the continents surrounding us.

We've got Asia, North America and Europe, which surround the Arctic, which is here in the middle.

So it's at the top of the world, so it's harder to see when the map is flat.

So in your books, can you write down the three continents which surround the Arctic Ocean.

And I've given you a bit of help on the picture.

Great job.

Now this is the last part of our lesson today.

We are focusing on oceans and seas.

An ocean, we know is a large and huge body of salt water.

Now when you go to the seaside your parent might say, should we go in the sea, should we go to the seaside? First because, when we are on land, the water closest to us when we go to the sea, when we go to the edge of our country to the land, that first part of the water is called the sea.

And the further you go out if you go on a boat and swung all the way out, the further you go out, we get to an ocean.

But sometimes we can have a sea but it's enclosed by land.

If you take a look at my picture here, can you put your finger on the words inside the yellow oval? Have your finger on it.

That says the Baltic Sea.

What does it say? So you can see on the picture that the water is in the middle of lots of land around it.

Can you see that? So sometimes we can have a see where the land surrounds it.

But we can also have, if you look down here in the bottom at the red oval, we've got the Celtic Sea.

So if you are on the corner of our country and you got on a boat and you went further out and out and out, you get to the Celtic Sea, but then you'd end up in the Atlantic Ocean, which is next to Europe where we live.

The easiest way for me to explain is to look like this.

So we start on the land on the yellow part.

Then if we get on our boat, which is in the water in the sea, unless it's enclosed by land, it's always going to be sea.

But if we go to the seaside, to the beach maybe, you might see the sea and then our boat will go out into the ocean.

Let's look at that one more time.

So watch the boat, it goes from the sea to the ocean.

Okay? So the sea to the ocean, because the ocean is further out, is a deeper part of the water but our sea surrounds our land.

And sometimes our land can surround the sea.

It's enclosed by land.

You have worked so hard today I'm really really proud of you.

Your brain is now filled with knowledge about the oceans and where they are on our planet.

Now, if you want to show us your work, you can ask your parent or carer to take a picture of it and post it onto Twitter using the tag OakNational and the #LearnWithOak.
