We looked at the way in which compasses are used to help us to follow directions. Outside, we used some written directions to find the four main points on a compass rose. We even learnt a funny ditty to help us to remember the correct order of the points as we read the compass in a clockwise direction. We had fun investigating the compasses but it was tricky to hold them level and move slowly enough for the compass to have time to react to our movements. ### Y2 compasses [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00681.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00681.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00682.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00682.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00683.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00683.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00684.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00684.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00685.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00685.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00686.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00686.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00687.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00687.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00688.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00688.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00689.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00689.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00690.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00690.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00691.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00691.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00692.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00692.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00693.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00693.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00694.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00694.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00695.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00695.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00696.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00696.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00697.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00697.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00698.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00698.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00699.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00699.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00700.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00700.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00701.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00701.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00702.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00702.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00703.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00703.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00704.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00704.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00705.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00705.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00706.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00706.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/15503/DSC00707.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/15503/DSC00707.JPG) [ Electricity Day](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-11-24-18-31-21-electricity-day) [A visit from our local PCSO ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2017-11-26-14-22-14-a-visit-from-our-local-pcso) ### Our School -
