Good morning students!

Hope you are all ready with your SST textbook and notebook. Let's do a quick recap of what we learnt yesterday:

• There are 7 continents in the world- Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe and Australia.

• There are five oceans in the world- the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean and Southern Ocean.
• Asia is the largest continent and covers nearly one-third of the land area of Earth.

Today, we are going to learn about the other continents.

Remember:

The text in red will be the questions you need to answer in your notebook.

The text in blue is to be written as it is in your notebook.

The text in green will be the new words and facts to be written in the notebook.

AFRICA

Observe the world map above. The red- coloured continent is Africa. 

Africa is the world's second largest continent surrounded by water bodies on all sides. The Mediterranean Sea lies to its north, the Indian Ocean to its east, and the Atlantic Ocean to its west.

Earlier, Africa was labelled as the Dark Continent because very little was known about it. However, this title is no longer valid now. Today, it is a flourishing continent.

Some of its prominent features are:

SAHARA DESERT- WORLD'S LARGEST DESERT

VICTORIA FALLS

NILE- WORLD'S LONGEST RIVER
