Maps and more things

Hello boys and girls,

How are you! It is Friday today and next week....We will celebrate Halloween! :)

This week we have learnt lots of things about maps. Some of you created a wonderful poster about it.

You can see it below

Here you can read what we have learnt:

What is a map?

A map is a flat representation of the Earth or a place on 

Earth.

What is a compass rose?

A compass rose is a design used to show directions. It 

normally shows the cardinal directions.

What is a legend or map key?

The legendo or map key uses symbols on maps. Symbols are pictures on the map that represent something in the real world.

What is a scale?

Most maps have a scale. Scales help us know distances on maps. The scale shows how much bigger the real world is than the map.

We will learn more things next week. :)

Have a nice weekend,

Raquel and Paula
