World map

Summary of task

Students recorded the location of continents and oceans on a world map. Prior to students completing the activity, the teacher provided students with visual representations of key places using printed maps, globes and projections. Students completed their world maps in class with teacher direction and guidance.

Achievement standard

By the end of Foundation Year, students identify important events in their own lives and recognise why some places are special to people. They describe the features of familiar places and recognise that places can be represented on maps and models. They identify how they, their families and friends know about their past and commemorate events that are important to them.

Students respond to questions about their own past and places they belong to. They sequence familiar events in order. They observe the familiar features of places and represent these features and their location on pictorial maps and models. They reflect on their learning to suggest ways they can care for a familiar place. Students relate stories about their past and share and compare observations about familiar places.
