I asked the children to make a picture with five woodland items in, eg pine cones and sticks. They then had to draw a plan of their picture. I swapped the plans and they had to try to find the matching picture. The children soon realised that their plans needed to be accurate, to scale and somehow show which way up they should go. I sent them off again to make pictures and  plans with only 5 pine cones in. This was much harder and only one group drew a plan which was accurate enough to match to the picture. Sadly no-one had thought to draw ‘this way up ‘ arrows etc! Good talking point. In the end we were able to identify the important features of a map and we then played a human knot game. Behaviour tricky today – lots going on in lots of lives.
