Compass points
Compass points are vital for finding your way around a map. There are many ways to remember where each direction goes.
You probably learnt a rhyme or a phrase to help you remember - if not, here's one now. Starting at the top and moving clockwise the directions on a compass or map are: -
- North - Naughty
- East - Elephants
- South - Squirt
- West - Water
Remember: the word WE is spelt if you have west and east the correct way around!
