Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!

This week, we have kicked off our Geography Topic by beginning to think about deserts. We discussed what we thought deserts were like and then started to look at where the world's largest deserts were and why.


Lots of the class were very surprised that there were cold deserts as well as hot deserts, but we noticed that many of the hot deserts were situated near to the Equator, and between the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. Mrs Penny explained to some of us about the wind belts which help to create these deserts.
