Finding our place! With Geography fieldtrips back up and running we have reignited our passion for all things environmental! Noting the societal change in attitudes towards our stewardship of the planet and learning about the challenges we face and how we might overcome them. Our seniors visited Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door to practice some of their fieldwork techniques and consolidate work on coasts. Part of the fieldwork involved asking the public questions, to which many people commented how polite and charming the children were. After a day of working hard in the sunshine, the children had a chance to demolish a good amount of
ice cream, rounding off a successful trip to the coast! Back in school, topics ranged from weather and climate, map skills, settlements and rivers. To bring the river formations to life the children worked together in groups to create 3D river dioramas, showing the long profile of a river. This allowed the children to unleash their artistic and problem-solving skills when creating these models. There were some fantastic efforts and some wonderful creations. In the Lent term, topics ranged from polar environments and explorers (both historic and modern), energy resources, plate tectonics to population and migration.
