In geography we have been learning about compass points and coordinates and how they can direct you somewhere. The eight compass is a compass made up of eight points- north, south, east, west, north east, north west, south east and south west. Coordinates and grid references help you find somewhere on a map easily if you look on the sides. We have been giving directions on a made up map to different places, then were given a map of shrewsbury and had to try and find different places. We also looked at an atlas and found the grid references and coordinates of different countries, as well as their capitals.
