THE CARDINAL POINTS. GLOBES AND MAPS

In Social Science we are learning about our world.

The first thing is orientation and for that we have the COMPASS ROSE with the four CARDINAL POINTS: North (N), South (S), East (E) and West (W)

Here you have the song you all like so much. Now it's up to you to practise.

And here you have an image of a Compass Rose showing the Intermediate Directions: north-east (NE), south-east (SE), north-west (NW) and south-west (SW)

Once we can get the right orientation, we can learn about the world with the help of a GLOBE or a MAP. 

Let's see the difference between them!!!

We also know that there are different maps: political maps, relief or physical maps, road maps, transport maps and many more.

 We are also learning to read maps. I hope this video will help you a little bit.
