Recently, we have been exploring our school and its grounds. Covering National Curriculum objectives and being even more ambitious to give them mapping, navigation and fieldwork experience! The children have really gotten into this including this lesson where we were outside.

On the way to the library, we really focused on our local area and mapped it out. This included human features like the Lingfield Mosque, bus stops and houses as well as physical features like trees, a field and the flower beds. It showed that the children area getting a better concept of their position and place in the world around them and its relation to them in size and distance.
