We had a look at a range of maps of our local area. As a class, we looked at Digimaps and found where Hull is in the UK, and where our school and local area is in Hull. We then wrote a set of directions from our school, around our local area and back again, our using our knowledge of the compass points.

We then went for a walk around our local area, following our directions. We added landmarks, signs and buildings to our maps.

When we arrived back at school, we improved our set of directions by adding extra details, such as landmarks we went by and street names and signs.
