Experiences and Outcomes• SOC 1-14a 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.• SOC 1-13a Having explored the landscape of my local area, I can

describe the various ways in which land has been used.• SOC 1-02a By exploring places, investigating artefacts and locating

them in time, I have developed an awareness of the ways we remember and preserve Scotland’s history.

• SOC 1-03a I can use evidence to recreate the story of a place or individual of local historical interest.

• SOC 2-02a I can interpret historical evidence from a range of periods to help to build a picture of Scotland’s heritage and my sense of chronology.

Experiences and Outcomes• SOC 2-10 Having explored my local area, I can present information on

different places to live, work and relax and interesting places to visit.• SOC 2–13a I can explain how the physical environment influences the

ways in which people use land by comparing my local area with a contrasting area.

• SOC 2-14a To extend my mental map and sense of place, I can interpret information from different types of maps and am beginning to locate key features within Scotland, UK, Europe or the wider world.

• MNU 2-11c I can explain how different methods can be used to find the perimeter and area of a simple 2d shape

• MTH 2-17d Having investigated where, why and how scale is used and expressed, I can apply my understanding to interpret simple models, maps and plans.
