🌍 7 Continents, 5 Oceans

The world is turning! On it there are huge pieces of land and huge stretches of water. Today we will learn the world’s 7 continents and 5 oceans.

About 7 out of every 10 parts of the Earth’s surface are water. We call the very big pieces of land continents. We call the very big bodies of water oceans.

First, the two biggest continents. In first place is Asia: the biggest of them all, and the home of giant pandas. In second place is Africa: lions live on its savannas.

Next come the two Americas. North America is the third biggest continent and South America is the fourth. The Statue of Liberty stands in North America. Llamas live in South America.

Three more continents. Antarctica is fifth: it is almost all covered in ice, and penguins live there. Europe is sixth: the Eiffel Tower is in Paris. Oceania is seventh, the smallest continent: kangaroos live there.
