Prior Knowledge: what symbols do we see everyday (traffic lights/toilets etc.)
Start by showing children pictures of the places and then show the symbol that represents them. Then show the symbols represented on a map (pictorial before abstract) - Piaget
Fieldwork where the children go on a local walk to see if they can spot symbols from the map in their everyday area. Would pre-select certain symbols that children would be able to spot. 
Children to take photos on the walk for children to match against the symbols at a later date to ensure their understanding (in chronological order - could link to English). 
To encourage learning at home, ask the children what they have seen over the weekend and ask if they can draw the map symbol to represent ]]> 2023-10-05 08:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/WendyGarner/cfjetfzm0fa1qlzp/wish/2733543937 https://padlet.com/WendyGarner/cfjetfzm0fa1qlzp/wish/2733551707 Learning objective
