This afternoon we have been looking at our classroom and the key features we have in it. We began by looking at important vocabulary such as aerial view/Birds Eye view and discussed why that is important to this lesson. We wrote about what we already know and features we thought were really important. We played a game of “I Spy” with our friends to identify what we already had in our classroom. We then looked at different aerial view maps of different classrooms and compared them to ours. We then created a messy map, using different resources to create an aerial view map of our own classroom. The children could explain what they had used for tables, chairs, the desk, where the doors are in the classroom, etc.

We had lots of fun creating our maps!
