It is social studies and English integrated day in Class 4-B. Miss Carter brings a large relief map of Türkiye and hangs it beside the whiteboard. In the center, she draws a colourful compass rose showing North, South, East, and West.
Miss Carter points with her ruler: 'Where is Samsun, children?' Zeynep answers promptly: 'Samsun is on the Black Sea coast. It is in the north!' Miss Carter praises her: 'Excellent, Zeynep!' Next, Kaan explains: 'Mersin is in the south, while İzmir is in the west by the Aegean Sea.'
Ağrı and Van are located in the east, where the sun rises first. The pupils connect cities to directions with colourful lines. Before leaving, the class celebrates 29 October Republic Day with pride, honouring Atatürk who unified the nation across all four directions!
