The third-grade students left their classroom behind and set off on a short exploratory walk around the school.
With maps in hand, they carefully observed their surroundings, identified and recorded street names, recognized important buildings in the neighbourhood and discovered landmarks that help us find our way around.
Using maps and the knowledge they had gained in class, the students learned through practical examples how to determine their position and navigate their immediate surroundings.
In this way, what they had learned in the classroom found a practical application in everyday life, while familiar streets and places became a space for exploration, observation and discovering new knowledge.
