As part of our school topic of Lincolnshire, Year 1 are beginning by looking at the local area surrounding school. I told the children to imagine that they were in an aeroplane or that they were a big bird flying high up in the sky and that if they looked down, this is what England (as part of the UK) would look like...
Using Google maps we were able to zoom in closer to the ground. The children enjoyed spotting rivers, fields, concrete, grass, trees and houses as we got closer!
We then used Street View to 'land' right outside school! If you are able to access Google Maps (or Google Earth) I would recommend showing your child how to zoom in to your street. You'll be surprised how exciting it can be to see your street and your house on a screen!
