WWBBA: Mapping
S.C: I can record geographical information using a range of methods including sketch maps, plans, graphs and digital technologies.
Our new topic in Geography this term is about the local area and Chorley (local, town centre, Rivington, Yarrow Valley etc). We will be looking at human and physical features in the local area.
To start our new topic in class on Geography and Chorley, the children were set a pre-learning homework task. Their task was to find out information, take photos, make a map, collect things from those areas, plan a route to see physical and human features, and what they could see at the points North, West, East and West etc.
To start the topic, the children got into groups and chose different areas in Chorley to find on digi-map using the ipads. They then had to plan their map out on A3 paper and then using bigger pieces of paper, used material to re-create a map of Chorley, Yarrow Yalley, Rivington, Copper Woods and Astley Park.
I am so impressed with the work that has come back into school and the knowledge and information you have found it. I cannot wait to look through all the exciting and interesting work you have brought in.
