Geography Fieldwork

Lesson: Geography

We decided to extend the Geography Fieldwork Fortnight to cover our final half term.

Fieldwork in Geography is crucial to develop a wide range of skills such as observational skills, data collection and analysis, map work and investigative skills. 

In Reception we used maps to explore our local area, focusing on key landmarks that the children found interesting. We have looked at the microhabitats of minibeasts, noting down the features of each and comparing them.

In Class 4, we did orienteering around the school grounds using maps and locating the orienteering markers.

In Class 2 we explored the points of a compass, trunign to face different directions. We chose our favourite view and sketched what we could see. Back in the classroom we identified the human and physical features in our sketches.
