I am aware of my route to school.
This week, the children were asked to explore their local area on foot.
We had some super pieces of work from filming a route to school using a camera attached to a dog’s collar to an ‘order my journey’ activity.
The children had spotted points of interest – houses, buildings, gardens, street furniture, historical landmarks, street names and local amenities, favourite shops, doctors and cafes.
We discussed points of improvement and spotted things that made our walk unpleasant. This included obstacles on the routes (pavements blocked with cars & bins), litter (where are the bins and whether littering is a problem) and difficult road crossings.
We will be adding all this information to a class map.
