A Walk From: Our Village School

Encourage children to explore their own locality and build simple map skills by following a group of friends on a circular walk from their village school in Great Chesterford, Essex. A moment-by-moment narrative using photos of real children and places will get readers instantly engaged. The kids on the walk have several questions to answer. They want to know if there are religious buildings, how old the houses are and what the traffic is like. Readers will help them decode their surroundings to answer these questions. They’ll also learn how to read a compass and map, and recognise key landmarks and features. A fantastic way to build fieldwork skills, full of specially commissioned photos which really bring the walk to life.
