Year 5 Local Area Walk
For our Geography fieldwork in Year 5, we used Google Maps print outs of our local area to guide our walk around Barking Abbey Grounds. Along the way, we identified landmarks to check our positioning. We then created our own version of the map, adding any additional landmarks we spotted along the way, including Morrisons and the Barking Abbey ruins site, which is of historical interest. We also made our own key to help others clearly read and understand our map. For example, a cross represented St Margaret's Church, and a basket signified the supermarkets.
