Section 1: Where can I go from my home? (Key Stage 1)

QCA

Objectives

Children should learn:
  • to link their homes with other places in their local community

Activities

Outcomes

Children:
  • Ask the children where they live and mark on a large map of the local area. Mark other places in their local communities. Discuss where these other places are, eg who has seen/visited them, how close/far away they are.
  • talk about places in their local community and how they can get to them from their home

Points to note

Many of the mapping activities are cumulative. By the end of a term or year, children may build up a detailed map of the places and environments they have studied in these activities.
