My students are working on this now and most perturbed that there is no compass provided on page 4. They have been taught that 'north' doesn't necessarily mean straight up!
Hi Hannah, thanks for bringing this to our attention! I have made the team aware of this and the PDF will be changed accordingly.
Hi, I think Page 3 should say 'park map' not 'park mark'. Thanks
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Tamara! I'll let the team know of the error.
