Otter Class Learning:
In Otter Class this week we re-enacted the Battle of Hastings and the key events around it. The activity really bought the learning alive!
We learned how to find features on a map using a six-figure grid reference. We also discovered what the scale is on a map and how big the features are in real life. We also learned about cardinal points and used them, while reading a map.
