Maps Changed Chapters Worksheet
The map at low tide
On Saturday morning, Grace, Kirra and Dylan followed the coastal path to the rock pools. Kirra carried a folded map she had found in the community noticeboard. It showed a wooden footbridge beside the beach and a short track leading to the pools. At the lookout, the friends saw a new sign. A winter storm had damaged the footbridge, so it was closed. A safe detour now led past the old lighthouse and down a longer path. Grace frowned. “The map says the bridge is here, but we can’t use it.” Dylan pointed to the map’s date: six years ago. “The coastline might look the same, but the paths have changed.” Kirra traced the detour with her finger. She noticed a dotted line near the pools marked LOW-TIDE TRACK. The tide was low, but the track was slippery and the sign said to use it only with an adult. The friends chose the marked detour instead. From the lookout, they could see tiny crabs moving between the rocks. Grace added a note to the old map: “Footbridge closed—follow the lighthouse detour.” The map was not useless, she decided. It just needed updating.
