Good Morning Year 6!

ChessKid is a website and app that gives children access to interactive lessons, videos, puzzles, and a safe environment in which to play chess online. Parents can sign you up for an account which you will be able to use for free until 20th July 2020. Have a look at the YouTube clip below.

3rd lesson: Geography

​We have been looking at the Himalayas and mountain landscapes in Geography, and have learned about how humans use mountains and what they need to help them survive a mountain climate. Mountaineers will also need to navigate their way to the top of the mountains. 
They will need map reading skills. 
We are going to recap our knowledge of finding a 4-figure grid references on a map.

Maps are divided into grids to help us describe the location of something more specifically and accurately.
Each box in the grid is numbered.
Picture
1) Watch the video below to see what the numbers mean and to find out how find a 4-figure grid reference.
So if we look at this example, what is the 4 figure grid reference of the star?
Picture


-We are looking for the numbers of the lines that meet at the bottom left-hand corner of the star.

1) First, go along the corridor.  18 is the eastings.

2) Then go up the stairs. 44 is the northings.

The 4- figure grid reference is:

18 44



Practise using the grid and questions below:
