Holly Tree Class have been learning about compasses this week. We looked at the way in which compasses are used to help us to follow directions. Outside, we used some written directions to find the four main points on a compass rose. 

We even learnt a funny ditty to help us to remember the correct order of the points as we read the compass in a clockwise direction.

We had fun investigating the compasses but it was tricky to hold them level and move slowly enough for the compass to have time to react to our movements.
