North Ayrshire - Elderbank Primary - Maps and Compass directions
carolyoung@north-ayrshire.gov.uk 23 FebThe Elderbank Explorers learned all about maps and compass directions with the Family Learning Worker Magnetic compasses were made using magnets, paperclips, bottle tops and a water-filled container. After checking that their compass pointed North, we headed outside to use the real compasses. We played physical games using compass co-ordinates and followed co-ordinates to find some hidden treasure. The young people will extend these activities at home with their own family by using a Compass APP and by making maps of their local area and their Wild Space.
