Ordnance Survey Maps in Year 5

Year 5 have been using Ordnance Survey maps in this week's Geography lessons.

They first learnt how to use four-figure grid references and then applied this knowledge to a map of the local area.

Some quotes from the children:

"This was fun! It was hard to learn how to fold up the map because it was so big but I managed it in the end."

"We got a bit confused about the grid reference numbers at first but we persevered."

"Last week we learnt about the different symbols on this map and this week we learnt how to find places on the map and give grid references."
