What children learn in Level 8

- We live on North America. South America is just south of it.
- Across the Atlantic Ocean are Europe, Africa, and Asia. Asia is the biggest continent of all.
- Australia is the smallest continent, and it's a country, too. Antarctica, at the bottom of the world, is covered in ice.
- Count them on your fingers: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Antarctica. Seven!
