Compass Points

We have been learning the names of the 8 compass points .

We have used this knowledge to find locations on the map of Orkney and to help us understand some of the locations in our class novel. 

Today we took our learning outdoors and used compasses  to  find  where north is in our playground and then we located  the other 7points on the compass.

We then gave  and followed directions to navigate the playground.

Not even the rain could stop us enjoying this task !
