EXPLORE YOUR COUNTRY Wall map of South Africa only

DESCRIPTION:

New Star Africa, has recently published a completely new, very special, one of a kind, map of South Africa. The map is called “EXPLORE YOUR COUNTRY” and unlike conventional maps, this map teaches Grade 4, 5, 6 and 7 learners, in a fun way, how to explore and understand all about a host of very relevant and important subjects relating to South Africa.

Full of information, the map has been produced in such a way that captures the imagination and attention of these learners. It also comes with a map guide book that describes all the subjects shown on the map, in a very easy to understand way. The map also, at the same time, teaches the learners how to read a map.

The main advantage of this map, as opposed to a conventional map, is that it instantly enables children to see and understand the whole picture on a host of subjects relating to South Africa. This is done through the use of very attractive subject illustrations that are physically located in the correct places on the map, and how each of these subjects forms the various parts of what makes-up the country.

RESEARCH:

All the information relating to each of the subjects was extensively researched with the help of subject experts.
