Gold3: Let's Investigate our Place - Step for Learning 3 (years 1 and 2)
This Step for Learning was produced in collaboration with the Geographical Association.
It supports children’s skills in making observations and plotting locations on a map. To achieve this, the teacher will need to take nine photographs ahead of the lesson, to prepare zoomed-in versions of each and to provide the children with a simple map of the school grounds. The children will guess which location each of the zoomed-in photos represent. Using the full-size photos, they will then find these through the school and plot them on a local map.
The PDF provides notes for the teachers. It contains keywords and an index for the accompanying PowerPoint.
The editable PowerPoint classroom presentation displays the lesson content (select the orange button to download). Please use ‘Slide Show’ mode to activate animations.
