In Primary four you learnt about compass directions. The cardinal directions are North, East, South and West. The letters N, S, E and W stand for the main directions. The compass direction also helps you to find the semi cardinal directions or the directions between the cardinal directions. Semi cardinal directions are North west, South West, South East and North East.

The Compass

There are other ways of finding directions of places. For example,

(i) You can use a person's shadow.
(ii) You can use the position of the sun.
(iii) You can use neighbouring land marks or features.
