Mrs. Collington has been teaching the class coordinates, in particular 4 point grid references, to both plot and describe the location of a point on a grid.

Using a map of the world the class identified grid references for different countries, played grid reference games on the i-Pads, identified letters on given grid references to spell a message and at the whiteboard identified a grid reference for a symbol or placed a symbol on a given grid reference. Some children even managed to look at 6 point grid references.

The class are working hard on their mapping skills in preparation for their forthcoming walk up Dumyat and to aid us as we venture out in our local area and explore the ‘great outdoors’.
