In Year One, as part of our ‘Fairy Tale Town’ topic, we have been looking at maps and our local area. We began by looking at our classroom and creating a simple map. After this, we used ‘Google Maps’ to look at Darlington and the key features of our town. We took a journey around our local area and managed to find our school. We looked at some of the landmarks then tried to recreate them using different building materials. Finally, we learnt about bird’s-eye views and tried really hard to draw maps from that point of view. We also included a key to show different landmarks.
