Activity
This afternoon we are going to produce a 'zone of relevance' map. I have modelled one below, I am sure yours will be far more detailed! The centre of your map will be Stoneyholme Community Primary School, the community will be near by and Hameldon hill will be far away.
1. Start by sketching our school by using google maps to get the outline.
2. Using observational skills, sketch out the surrounding area. Remember to rotate your map as your draw. Your teacher will model this.
3. Sketch Hameldon hill, remember to sketch what you see not what you think a hill looks like!
If the weather is poor we can use this image to help!
