Week 8 - Maps

This week we explored the exciting world of maps! The children looked at maps of our local area and planned a route for our upcoming walk to Beach School.  They used Beebots and programmed them to move around maps on the floor, helping the children understand directions and sequencing. They also had the chance to create their own maps. The children have loved learning about maps and are excited for the next step of our journey to Beach School!
