Hello and welcome.

My name is Ms. Harrison.

I'm so excited to be learning with you today.

We're going to have a fantastic time.

Today's lesson is called Caribbean location and it's UK Connections.

This lesson is part of a wider unit called Contrasting locality: What is it like to live in Jamaica? In today's lesson, we are going to be learning where the Caribbean is located.

By the end of the lesson, you are going to be able to describe and locate where the Caribbean is located, either on a globe or an Atlas map, and then we'll begin to discover and explore all the different ways in which the UK and the Caribbean are connected.

Before we can begin this learning, we need to define a few key words that we will be using throughout this lesson.

The key words we'll be focusing on using in today's lesson are continent, ocean, and Caribbean.

A continent is a large landmass on earth and there are seven, Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania.

An ocean, an ocean is a very big area of salt water between the different continents.

Caribbean, the Caribbean is a region that consists of the Caribbean Sea and lots and lots of different islands within it.

It is located between North and South America and it is to the west of the Atlantic Ocean.

Well done, now that we've defined these keywords and we understand them a bit better, we can begin to start achieving some of our learning outcomes.

Our first learning outcome is, where is the Caribbean? Before we can begin to locate where the Caribbean is, we need to make sure that we know what the seven continents in the world are called.

Pause this video here whilst you discuss what the seven continents of the world are called, and then press play when you're ready.

Fantastic, great job.

The seven continents of the world are called North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and lastly, but not forgetting Antarctica.

Do you know what continent the UK is located on? Fantastic, the UK is located in the continent of Europe.

Now we know what the seven continents of the world are called, we now need to begin to learn what the five oceans of the world are called.

Remember, an ocean is a large body of salty water that is located in between different continents.

Can you remember the names of the different oceans? Pause the video here and press play when you're ready to discuss.

Brilliant, you've been able to identify five oceans in the world.

They are the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Southern Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean.

The largest ocean in the world is the Pacific Ocean.

It is also one of the deepest oceans in the world.

Now that we've been able to identify the seven continents and the five oceans, let's test our knowledge.

How many continents are there in the world? Is it A, five, B, six, C, seven? Pause the video here whilst you identify how many continents there are in the world.

Press play when you're ready to discuss.

Great job, there are seven continents in the world.

They are North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Antarctica.

Now we understand the different continents and the oceans, we can begin to look a little bit closer at where the Caribbean is located.

The Caribbean is a region in the continent of North America.

When we look a bit closer at the Caribbean on the map, you'll be able to see the Caribbean isn't one big large landmass.

It's made up of several different islands.

In fact, it has 7,000 different islands.

It also consists of the Caribbean Sea.

The Caribbean Sea is part of the Atlantic Ocean, one of the five oceans in the world.

Which continent is the Caribbean in? Is it A, Africa, B, North America, C, South America.

Pause the video here whilst you identify which continent the Caribbean is in and then press play when you're ready to discuss.

Excellent, the Caribbean is located in North America.

The Caribbean is a region in North America and consists of 7,000 islands and the Caribbean Sea.

In geography, when we like to describe where somewhere is located, we like to be really specific and precise about where it is, so we like to use a compass direction.

I would like you to try and attempt to complete the labels on this compass rose.

Pause the video here whilst you attempt this and press play when you're ready to check your answers.

Fantastic attempt there.

That was a bit tricky, but you've done really well.

Let's go through.

So at the top of the compass rose, we would label it as north.

To the right of the compass rose, we will say somewhere is called east, and the bottom of the compass rose we will say somewhere is located south, and on the left-hand side we'll say somewhere is located to the west.

So when we describe locations we use north, east, south, and west.

And a nice way of helping us to remember these different points on the compass rose is we say naughty elephants squirt water.

Naughty, north.

Elephants, east.

Squirt, south.

Water, west.

So whenever we describe where something is, we can say somewhere to the north of where a specific point is or somewhere to the east and it helps us be really specific.

So when we take a little bit of a closer look at the map of the Caribbean, we can use our compass rose to describe locations in the Caribbean.

For example, Cuba is north of Jamaica.

Jamaica is to the west of Haiti.

The Dominican Republic is east of Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago is south of Granada.

I wonder, can you give it a go and try and identify where a country is located and use compass points to describe it? Pause the video here whilst you attempt that and press play when you're ready to continue.

Great job, now let's test our knowledge even more.

Add the four missing compass directions to this compass rose.

Pause the video here whilst you do that and press play when you're ready to check your answers.

Great effort.

Let's go through and check our answers and see if we got them correct.

North, east, south, and west.

And remember, an easy way to remember the different points on a compass rose is naughty elephants squirt water.

Fantastic, I want you now to use the map of the Caribbean and put the correct compass directions in the gaps.

You'll be able to see at the bottom of the sentences are words in purple.

Use these words to fill in the word fill.

Pause the video whilst you attempt this and press play when you're ready to check your answers.

Great work, let's check our answers and see if we've been able to correctly identify the right compass direction for the different islands within the Caribbean.

The Bahamas are north of Haiti.

The Dominican Republic is west of Anguilla.

Haiti is east of Jamaica, and Jamaica is south of Cuba.

Great work, you've really done a fantastic job with that.

Let's now test our knowledge a little bit further.

How would you use the compass directions to describe where Grenada is? Grenada is in the south of the Caribbean map.

I would like you to pause the video here once you attempt to describe using Compass directions where Grenada is in relation to different Caribbean islands.

Once you've done this, press play to continue the lesson.

Excellent work, well done.

Now we know where the Caribbean is located and we're able to identify lots of the different islands within the Caribbean, we now need to know how the UK is connected with the Caribbean.

When we begin to think about how the UK and the Caribbean is connected, we need to think about all the different ways in which we are connected to other people.

So for example, we are connected to different people through family, whether it's our auntie, uncle, cousin, grandparent, or a very distant relative, or our friends, or the different people that are at our school, whether it's the staff or other students, people we meet at after-school clubs and out in our local community, whether at the park, a supermarket.

I want you now to think about who you are connected to.

Pause this video here whilst you write down five ways in which you are connected to people in your life.

Press the video when you are ready to discuss.

Fantastic, when you were thinking about who you are connected to, you might have been focusing it on in your local community that you are in.

But when we think about the way we are connected with people, we are more than just connected with people in our local area, but we are connected with people in different parts of the UK and the world.

Let's now think about how we are connected to them.

So for example, Laura, she says, "We might have family or friends living somewhere very faraway." They might be in different parts of the UK, in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, or they might be in different countries around the world like Germany, Italy, or Australia, America.

Izzy, she says, "A lot of the food we eat is grown somewhere else." So it might be grown in different parts again of the UK or like sometimes I get oranges from supermarkets that have been grown in Spain.

Or Jun he says, "We might listen to music or watch films from other countries." A lot of the films I watch have been made in Hollywood, in America, but there are still more ways in which we are connected.

Our clothes and many of the things we use every day are made in different parts of the world.

It'll be really interesting for you to take a look at some of the items that you might be wearing and things you have in your house to see whereabouts in the world they were made.

Some people might go on holiday to another country.

Other people might move to other countries to live and to work.

But doing all of these things, we become connected to different parts of the UK and to the world.

I want to test your knowledge now.

People are only connected to other people who live in their local area.

True or false? Pause the video here whilst you decide whether it's true or false and press play when you're ready to discuss.

Excellent, it's false.

I wonder, can you explain why this is false? Pause the video here whilst you discuss why this is false and press play when you're ready to discuss.

Excellent work, some people are also connected in many different ways to people around the world.

Like we said, we might watch movies or listen to music from different parts of the world.

We might eat food that was grown in different parts of the world, or we might go on holiday to different parts of the world.

And all of those things help us to be connected to people to different places in the UK or the wider world.

So when we think about how the UK and the Caribbean is connected, they're connected in many, many different ways.

But one specific way in which the UK and the Caribbean is connected is through migration.

The HMT Empire Windrush, which is the boat you can see in the image on the screen, was a ship that travelled from the Caribbean to the UK in 1948.

There were many people on the ship from the different islands within the Caribbean.

They were moving to the UK to live and to work to pursue a life with more opportunities.

Between 1948 and 1971, more than half a million people from the Caribbean moved to the UK to live.

On the image on the screen, you can see Windrush migrants searching for their luggage when they're arriving at Waterloo Station.

The British government was really keen for people from the Caribbean to come to the UK.

They wanted them to come to help rebuild the country after the Second World War, which caused a lot of damage.

These people became known as the Windrush generation.

Even though not all of the people that came between the time period travelled on the HMT Empire Windrush, they were still identified as being part of the Windrush generation.

The people from the Caribbean worked in many, many different important jobs and they helped to rebuild the UK after the Second World War.

They also brought lots of different things like types of music and food, which helped really enrich our culture.

Notting Hill Carnival takes place every year in London to celebrate the Caribbean culture that was came from the Windrush generation.

People come together to celebrate Caribbean music, dance, costumes, food, and much, much more.

What was the name of the important ship that travelled from the Caribbean to the UK in 1948? Was it A, HMT Empire Goldrush, B, HMT Empire Saltrush, or C, HMT Empire Windrush.

Pause the video here whilst you decide and press play when you're ready to check your answer.

Brilliant work, it was HMT Empire Windrush.

Remember, not all of the people who travelled between 1948 and 1971 were travelling on the HMT Empire Windrush, but they were called the Windrush generation.

What I would like you to do is I would like you to create a spider diagram to show some of the ways in which you are connected to other people around the world.

When we're thinking about this, I want you to think about people where you live, in other parts of the UK, and in other countries, and I want you to challenge yourself to think specifically about any of the ways in which you might be connected to the Caribbean.

I would like you to use this template to help you to create the spider diagram.

I'm going to show you an example one that I did earlier that can help you to decide to do this.

So I've written that I have friends from other parts of the UK.

We learn about different countries at school.

I like shops that sell things from other countries.

I go on holiday to Cornwall.

I have clothes made in China.

I watch football players from different countries.

I like food from the Caribbean and I have family in Australia.

I would like you to pause this video here and create your spider diagram, thinking about people where you live, in different parts of the UK, and around the world, and to challenge yourself to figure out one or two ways in which you are connected to the Caribbean.

Pause the video here and press play when you're ready to continue.

Great work, that was really, really interesting.

It's amazing that you've been able to identify different ways in which you are connected to people in different parts of the UK, different countries around the world, and even found links between you and the Caribbean.

We've learned a lot in today's lesson.

You should be really proud of yourself.

We've done fantastically.

Let's summarise what we've learned so far.

We've learned that maps can be used to locate the Caribbean Sea and the countries within it.

Compass directions, north, east, south and west can be used to describe the location of Caribbean countries.

And we've also learnt that the UK and the Caribbean are connected in many, many different ways.

Well done and thank you for taking the time to learn with me today.

I look forward to learning with you again soon.
