Reading a landscape

Open to everyone until Friday, October 30

To keep it, print it while it is open.

A landscape is made of different parts, such as hills, water, trees, fields and houses. To read it, you look at each part and say where it is: at the back, in the middle or at the front.

In the picture

  1. Relief: low hills far away, at the back of the landscape
  2. Water: a river winding through the middle
  3. Farmland: fields of crops growing beside the river
  4. Buildings: a village of houses built near the bridge

Examples

  • From a car window, you can spot hills in the distance and fields close to the road.
  • From the top of a tower, you can see where the houses, the park and the river are.
