Week 5 - 18th May

Linking your daily exercise walks to geography

Are you enjoying your daily exercise walks outside of your house? Well, here's a way to up level those walks and link them to mapping and geography.

Digimaps is a great tool to help you understand the local/global area, to plan routes and to map a route afterwards. You can add photos and pictures of human/physical features you have seen, nature, show your routes, work out the distance you have walked, work out routes to school/your friends houses. The possibilities are endless.
