Everyone welcome! # Year 3- Geography-Exploring South America in Geography ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-5145783E-9C33-4973-9D41-BE6F6CB1BD8C.png) 1 July 2025 In today’s geography lesson, the children explored the continent of South America. Using atlases, they located South America on a world map and began identifying both physical and human features found across the region. Year 3 watched a short video clip to help bring the landscape to life. The children were amazed by the Amazon Rainforest, the towering Andes Mountains, and the powerful Amazon River. We also explored some of South America's remarkable human landmarks, including the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Other stunning features that captured the children’s interest included Iguazu Falls, one of the largest and most beautiful waterfalls in the world, and the culture and history. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-5145783E-9C33-4973-9D41-BE6F6CB1BD8C.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Geography](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/geography) [History](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3149(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-30-darwen-primary-schools-athletics-winners-2025) Previous ### [Darwen Primary Schools Athletics Winners 2025](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-06-30-darwen-primary-schools-athletics-winners-2025) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/unnamed_(3).jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-02-cre8ability-session-4) Next ### [Cre8ability Session 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-02-cre8ability-session-4) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
