Marvellous Maps
Task 1: Draw a Floor Plan
What is a map?
Where have you seen them before?
What are they used for?
Have a look at the PowerPoint below to learn more!
Task 2: Match the Map Symbols
Maps use symbols because detailed pictures and words would take up too much space! Have a look at the PowerPoint below to find out more about map symbols.
Task 3: Plan a Route
When we have to travel from one place to another, we need to plan a route - the way we need to go.
Have a look at the PowerPoint below to learn more about routes.
Now, use the map of Hilsea to draw a route from the school to a place on the map. Then, write a description of your route for someone in your family so that they can follow it. Don't forget to use road names, places you may pass, and compass directions!
Challenge: Can you plan a different route to the same place? Which route would you take if you were to travel by bus, bike or car?
