P3/4 Navigating Using a Compass

Today P3/4 applying their learned knowledge of  compass directions and mapping skills to create a map of our classroom and then use a compass to help navigate around the room to create a set of instructions.

In teams pupils first draw a map of the classroom including important features like a compass, obstacles and enter/exit points. Pupils enjoyed personalizing their map and adding in their own detail.

The next step was for pupils to map out a route from a starting point to a finishing point in the class which pupils would then actively follow using a compass and write down a set of instructions along the way.
