Putting our school on the map! (Y1)

In Year 1, we have been developing our geography skills by exploring our school and local area. We identified features on aerial photographs, created maps of our classroom and used maps to locate important features around our school.

We also enjoyed a trip to Burgess Park, where we used a map key to identify different features of the park and explore our local environment.

Back at school, we shared our thoughts about three areas of the playground and carried out a survey to find out what others thought. Using the results, we designed creative improvements to make our playground an even better place to play!
