Create a Map of our School - Worksheet
This worksheet is part of the Year 1 HASS Geography Unit - What are different features of places?
Students will create a map of their school, providing directions to their classroom.
Learning goals
- We are learning to recognise natural, managed and constructed features of places, their location, how they change and how they can be cared for.
Curriculum alignment
Australian Curriculum covers QLD / SA / WA / NT / TAS / ACT.
Differentiation
Modifications
Students may need to cut out images to paste onto the worksheet.
This resource would be suitable to use for this purpose:

Extensions
Students may write out directions to the classroom in dot points.
Provide an example by utilising Google Maps and asking for walking directions to a local familiar place. You might want to compare directions given on various apps e.g. Waze, to compare similarities and differences between various apps. Use this information to assist students in writing their own set of directions to their classroom for new visitors to the school.
