A member of the National Park Ranger Service was welcomed to the school on Thursday 23<\/span>rd<\/span> November to work with the school staff and children to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding of how to make, read then follow a map. Children of all year groups accessed differentiated activities where they used a compass to follow trails, locate specific items or re-familiarise themselves with the features of a compass, made their own maps from natural and man-made materials, then undertook a scavenger hunt using their own maps to locate the hidden animals. This was a fabulous way to consolidate and assess the children\u2019s learning and correct any misconceptions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One pupil said couldn\u2019t wait to say, \u201cThis afternoon was so much fun, I loved making my map then giving it to another group so they could find the animals we had hidden around the school hall.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ranger was also impressed about the range of questions asked by the children and how well they all worked collaboratively together.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was quoted as saying,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI live quite a long way from this school, but I would come back anytime, and I look forward to being invited again and delivering more work to you as an Ambassador School.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The children and staff are all proud and pleased to have become part of the National Park Ranger Family and representing them as an Ambassador School. Thank-you Mike, for such a wonderful day.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
