Smudge Compass and Direction is the first in a series of apps introducing early geography skills to children aged 4 years and above.
Geography is a key skill for children: Maps are regularly used to direct us to places locally, and for understanding where places are in the wider world. Having a feel for where things are located will help children to take an interest in local events and in events outside of their own area, such as items on the news, and so becomes a starting point for citizenship.
Smudge Compass and Direction consists of progressive steps introducing the points of the compass.
What your child will learn:
The main four points of the compass (north, east, south and west) and for older or more able children to know and understand the main eight points of the compass (including north east, south east, south west, north west).
