Key learning points

- Geographical vocabulary helps us talk about why places are special to us.
- Geographers make connections between what a place is like and the activities that are possible there.
- All places can be located using maps and globes or atlases.
Common misconception
The best place I've ever been to has to be in another country.
The best place you have been to can be abroad but it doesn't have to be, it can be somewhere you have visited with family or to see family like another town or can be a place you went to on a day trip like a theme park, museum or zoo.
