We learned today all about how to record routes on maps and listen to instructions on how to follow routes on maps. Turning the map to hold it the correct way by matching North on the map to the direction of North on our courses really helped us.
We were fortunate that the rain stayed off for us this afternoon and we managed to stay dry as we learned (although there were some muddy feet as the grass certainly wasn’t dry after this morning’s heavy rain!)
We got ourselves into a triangle to play some fun listening warm up games before moving on to our main learning activity for the day.
Learning how to work well in a small team to plan, collect items and create maps was a great success. Here are some of our maps, can you see how we used different natural materials to represent different areas of our school grounds?
