How do we read a map?

In Geography, Class Three started their new unit of learning. This half term, we will be answering the question, “How do we read a map?” Today, the children quickly revisited their previous learning to see what they could remember. All children remembered that an atlas is a book of maps - super! They worked in partners to find a variety of locations using the index page and necessary coordinates before completing an atlas quiz which involved looking deeper than just a place name. One child made connections between their learning in French last half term to identify the longest river running through France - super knowledge retention!
