Red Riding Hood’s WalkRed Riding Hood’s Walk
We learnt how to use the programme by mapping a story. The story chosen was Little Red Riding Hood. We thought that this would be a good story to share with younger children.
This example of Red Riding Hood’s walk map was created by Wendy

Maps that show how we feel
• I used this aerial view of the children’s local area to introduce the idea that maps can show a variety of things including information about how we feel in particular places. I feel pleased if I can
find my way into school through the
estateI really enjoy the

Park

Gradually we zoomed in to look closely at the school and grounds
• We talked about how things have changed since this photograph was taken. We added extra detail onto the image using the Interactive Whiteboard.
This view of the school was obtained from Loc8 a website developed by the Yorkshire & Humberside Grid for Learning

Creating maps using Local Studies• We imported an
outline map as a background. This gave us the framework onto which we could draw our own detail.

In Week Four we added hotspots to the maps to show how we felt about our school and grounds.
