Exploring our Locality

22nd February 2023

This week, year F became young Geographers. We caught the local public bus that stops right outside school and travelled around Launceston town drawing pictures of what we could see along the way. We got off the bus by the duck pond, walked across the bridge and back up the hill to school.
Once back at school, we looked at some maps of the town to see if we could spot places that we saw on our journey. We then wrote about it and created our own map of Launceston, using different construction toys to represent buildings we saw along the way. We will continue to add to this map as the week goes on.
In our Foundation curriculum we aim to be "Exceptional Explorers" who show curiosity about the world around us, read and draw simple maps and understand how places can be different. We thing we are doing a great job!
