Our Year 4 pupils at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Billingham had a brilliant day completing Star 1 of the National Navigation Qualification with the support of the fantastic team at the West View Project.

Learning Key Navigation Skills

The children learned how to:

  • Use a compass
  • Follow accurate directions
  • Read and interpret maps

These skills helped them gain confidence in outdoor learning and strengthened their understanding of practical geography.

Excellent Behaviour and Teamwork

Throughout the day, Year 4 demonstrated impeccable behaviour, strong teamwork, and a real enthusiasm for learning new skills. Their determination and positive attitude were outstanding.

Well done, Year 4 - you are now ready to tackle Star 2!
