Hi Bloggers,
For numeracy this week, we have been learning about grid references and we have been working on 4 and 6 digit grid references.
We learned that we read across the bottom of the grid first (Easterlings) and then up the side second (Northings).
Our task today was to look at an aerial map of our school, write down the 6 digit grid references for the letters that our teacher had put on it, and then go in hunt of those points. At each point, there were 1 or 2 letters. Once we had them all, we had to come back into the hub and unscramble the letters to figure out what it spelled. The secret sentence was ‘Happy Birthday Zoe’ because it was my birthday today on the 28 of May.
I really enjoyed the task. Have you ever had to use grid references before in real life? What was it for?
See you next time,
Yes your birthday. My baby girl not 11yr anymore. You grown into awesome 12yr Zoe very proud dad.
