This area of the classroom exposes the child to basics in geography, history, zoology and botany. The children gain an awareness of the world around them by exploring other countries, their customs, food, music, climate, language and animals. This helps to raise their consciousness about other people, to gain an understanding and tolerance and, therefore, compassion for all the people in the world.
In Geography the large wood puzzle maps are among the most popular activities in our classroom. At first, the children use the maps simply as puzzles. Gradually, they learn the names of many continents and countries as well as information about climate and products. The maps illustrate many geographical facts concretely. Children also learn the common land formation such as islands and peninsulas.
