They worked together to plan the layout and explain their choices. #### Year 1 & 2: Perfect Classroom Designers Year 1 and 2 designed maps of their perfect classroom from an aerial view. They added labels and symbols and explained why they had positioned their features in certain areas. We loved seeing everyone’s creativity and growing understanding of how maps represent real places. Well done, Maple Class — you’ve put yourselves on the map!
