This experience is all about Seal. We are going to learn how to use maps and write clear instructions to direct visitors to Seal Primary. The children will learn about maps, directional language, numerical order points, imperative verbs and time order adverbs. 

For our hook we used maps to find different landmarks around the school field. We had to work together and collaborate in order to find what we were looking for. 

To start with we learnt about two different types of map. The physical map and the political map. We labelled the map's features.

 

Abigail's beautiful labelling of the landmarks in Seal Village. 

During this experience we also learnt the skill of using a compass to find North. This helped with our directions when we wrote our instructions. 

We learnt about time order adverbs, so that we could use these in our instructions:
