Learning about Mapping on the 5B diorama map

After creating the 5B dioramas we decided to take the opportunity of learning about mapping. We made a video using a compass, scale and a map. We  located 3 directions around the map using those three elements. Here is the video I made.

We also programmed a Sphero around our diorama. Here is a video of that.

Have you ever made a map before, if so what was it of?

  1. Hi Esther,

    Well done – two contrasting but informative videos involving coding and directional language.

    Mr B.

  2. Esther I love how you have explained WHY we need a compass and scale. It is very difficult to give accurate instructions without using compass and scale. I love that you have also used landmarks because I think in real life we use landmarks a lot. Buildings like Woolworths and McDonalds are easily recognised and referred to.
    Well done
    Miss Dube
