We went on a field trip to develop our map reading skills. We set off nice and early from school, and walked in pairs up to St. Etheldreda’s Church. As we travelled along, we focused on identifying our position on the map and using the street names.
On the way to our destination, we passed bus stops, pedestrian crossings, residential areas and key landmarks in the local area, including the Eight Bells Pub – the oldest pub in Hatfield! We used symbols to show their location on the map.
As we walked up the hill at Fore Street, we saw St. Etheldreda’s Church and were lucky enough to hear the bells chime! We took a class photos and had a short break before returning to school.
Back at school, we compared our maps and discussed what we had seen on our journey. We wrote a reflection of our trip, describing the route that we took.
