What a fantastic time we had on our Geography fieldwork this week! The children showed excellent awareness of how to stay safe while carrying out their investigations.
Before setting off, we reminded ourselves of our important safety rules:
-
We stay with our class and our adults at all times.
-
We listen carefully to our adult’s instructions.
Our fieldwork question was: “What trees are there on the school field?”
To find the answer, we took photographs and collected leaves from different trees and then later identified them in class.
Next week we will be presenting our findings and discussing what we found. The tree that was the most common was a beech tree. We enjoyed looking at the oak tree as there were lots of acorns on the floor.
Help at home by discussing your local environment and what you can see.
