Draw a sketch map of the school compound or a nearby area, showing the main buildings, landmarks, and pathways.
Interpret a sketch map drawn by a peer and explain what information it provides about the area to be surveyed.
Use a sketch map to plan the route and key points where data collection (e.g., interviews or observations) will take place.
Apply appropriate symbols, colours, or labels to represent different features on a sketch map clearly.

Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

strand name - printed p.2 and the table of contents head B4 strand 1 "WORD PROCESSING", which is a copy-paste error. Corrected to "INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING" on four pieces of evidence: the scope-and-sequence names strand 1 "Introduction to computing"; B5 and B6 both print "STRAND 1: INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING" over the same sub-strands; B4 own p.9 heads strand 3 "WORD PROCESSING"; and B4 strand 1 sub-strands are Generation of Computers, MS-Windows Interface, Data Sources and Usage, and Technology in the Community, none of which is word processing
