Directions for Santa

We have been learning about directions. 

Our saying to remember is

Never Eat Soggy Weetbix 

North, East, South, West

We made maps for Santa to get from the North Pole to New Zealand. 

We learnt lots about the world and how big other countries were compared to New Zealand. 

We wrote directions for Santa to make sure he could find our houses.
