Children enjoying map making.

Charlie helped his group make a map. He was good at sharing his learning.

Everyone was involved. Tamish and Oskar are busy helping to make their group map.

 Maddi is adding a pool to her map using blue paper to represent water.

Look at this finished map. You can see shapes  that represent houses, roads and green spaces for playing. Once we had finishe making the maps we gave instructions to others using directions and included positional language too.

Mrs Burrough came into our class and worked with 4 children.

• They followed instructions
• They made a map
• First they drew their own house
• Squares represented houses
• Then we drew roads
• Hexagons represented a school
• Trapeziums were for shops
• Blue paper showed water
• Green paper represented places to play

When the map was made we had to use postional language to tell each other how we could get to different places. We had to listen carefully.


The next day Maddi, Charlie, Charlie and Charlotte had to share their learning with a group of children. What great teachers they were. The maps are now used in our classroom at choosing time.
