Community walk map
Summary of task
Students undertook a supervised walk around the local community and recorded the journey on a template map containing key marker points. The teacher then interviewed the student, posing questions about the journey. A transcript of the interview is included as part of the work sample.
Achievement standard
By the end of Foundation Year, students describe the features of familiar places and recognise why some places are special to people. They recognise that places can be represented on maps and a globe and why places are important to people.
Students observe the familiar features of places and represent these features and their location on pictorial maps and models. They share and compare observations in a range of texts and use everyday language to describe direction and location. Students reflect on their learning to suggest ways they can care for a familiar place.
