In this workshop we will explore Holyrood Park using all our senses. We will make a sound map, investigate our sense of touch in a texture hunt and sharpen our sense of smell with a smelly challenge.

Social Studies: People, place and Environment
Having explored the landscape of my local area, I can describe the various ways in which land has been used.

By exploring a natural environment different from my own, I can discover how the physical features influence the variety of living things.
SOC 1-13b
I can explain how the physical environment influences the ways in which people use land by comparing my local area with a contrasting area.

Through activities in my local area, I have developed my mental map and sense of place. I can create and use maps of the area.
