Activity: 6 Figure Grid References
Children use their Enrich school orienteering map to locate objects on the school site using 6 figure grid references.
Summary
- Children take part in the activity in pairs.
- The first pair places several objects on the school site. They note the 6-figure grid reference for each object.
- They give the grid references for the objects to the second pair, who use them to locate and collect the objects.
- Pairs then swap roles, with the second pair hiding the objects and the first pair locating them using their 6 figure grid references.
