Learning about co - ordinates

Last week we started learning about co-ordinates. Everyone shared what they knew about co-ordinates and why we use these in real life. Some people gave examples of why they are used - "they are used for maps" and "they help fishermen too."

This week we have continued to learn about co-ordinates and compass bearings. We came up with a moto to remember how to find an accurate co-ordinate. Remember: "We go along the corridor first (x axis) and then up or down the stairs (y axis)."

We helped each other and are all feeling more confident with using co-oridnates and finding compass bearings.
