Exploring Maps (Understanding the World/Geography)

Lesson: Geography

We discovered an aerial photograph showing the route Goldilocks took when she discovered the Three Bears cottage.  We talked about the features we could see and then drew our own maps.

Then we used Digimaps to explore maps of our local area.  We had fun zooming and out to change the scale of the map.  We located the school and our playing fields, the local shops and the road that runs past school.  Some children had a go at finding their address on the map so they could see where they live.
