Exploring Geography in the Field: Year 6 Put Their Skills to the Test

Year 6 recently enjoyed a fantastic field trip that brought their geography lessons to life. Armed with clipboards, maps, and plenty of enthusiasm, pupils conducted surveys to assess the terrain, facilities, and overall suitability of the area for a case study. It was a brilliant opportunity to apply classroom learning to the real world—and have fun doing it!

Back in the classroom, pupils will now analyse their findings and reflect on what makes a location appropriate for different purposes. This hands-on experience not only deepened their understanding of geographical concepts but also encouraged critical thinking and teamwork.

Miss Franks, who accompanied the trip, shared her thoughts:
“It was wonderful to see the children so engaged. They asked thoughtful questions, worked collaboratively, and really embraced the challenge. It’s experiences like this that make learning memorable.”

We’re proud of how Year 6 represented the school and look forward to seeing the insights they bring to their upcoming case study work.
