Weeks 2 & 3: finding the reality behind the map

Further information about emotional mapping/ the mapping of feelings can be found on the Geographical Association website:  http://www.geography.org.uk/projects/valuingplaces/cpdunits/messymaps/

A model of the school and grounds can help children to visualise the reality behind the map – a parent volunteer might help to create such a model.
