Observational map drawing

Today class 1 spent time in the outdoor classroom and school grounds using their observational skills to create maps of our outdoor spaces. We looked at pictures of real maps and sketches of maps of playgrounds, nature walks and roads. We discussed how we use these in day to day life and how they would help us in different situations. The children paid close attention to detail looking at the features in the land and additional items they could draw onto their map to ensure all of the detail was included.

The children are going to keep a look out for any maps they come across when on their travels and visiting place in the future!
