For one of our STEAM week challenges we had to make a map of the classroom or the school. First we had a look at some books about maps. We noticed how they are laid out, that they have a key and that they use symbols. We also discussed that maps are a ‘birds eye view’. Next we made a list of materials we would need and planned the steps we would take to make our map. We decided we would need to look carefully at the area and carefully count windows and doors. Then we got to work drawing our maps. When we were finished we shared our maps with the rest of the class and had some discussions about ways to improve them even further. The next day we made some lego models of rooms that we would like to draw maps of. Looking down on the model helped us further understand the idea of a birds eye view and we drew maps of the Lego models we had built.
