Geography Day!

The children spent a brilliant day developing their geography skills and knowledge in a round robing of lessons. Outside the classroom, children’s map reading skills were enhanced through orienteering – a sport our children really enjoy when on residentials – and road safety practical learning. In the classrooms children’s understanding of maps and the world was enhanced through bird’s-eye drawings of scenarios, OS map reading and symbol recognition and using iPad based software (Google Earth) to explore 2D and 3D imagery. The children explored around their homes as well as further afield – linked to their topics – and famous landmarks around the world.
