- human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop

What are Human and Physical Features

- It could be map of somewhere a different fairy tale character lives. 
- It could be a map of where you live. 
- It could be an imaginary map.

Week 2 

Geography lesson 6 – Learn how to use a compass rose. 

We are learning to

• Use simple compass directions (North, South, East and West)
• Use locational and directional language to describe the location of features and routes on a map.

Activity 2 - (Alternative method) Make a paper plate compass

You are welcome to use alternative materials to create your compass. You could use a straw or card strip instead of a pipe cleaner for the pointer. You could draw around a plate and make one from a sheet of paper or card. You could use blue tack and a drawing pin in the middle.
