As part of our new topic, which is geography based, we have spent the last two weeks looking at maps of the world and the United Kingdom. Today, we have tried to locate key cities and towns of the U.K. Afterwards, some of us went that little step further and correctly identified the grid references for where each city was located.

It’s so important that children spend time looking at maps whether they are of the world or of the U.K to help them understand basic locations. These can be done through looking globes, an atlas, car maps even jigsaws!
