Why are we going?

Last Year's trip

The pupils will carry out two or three investigations whilst we are away. Each evening we will collate data and write a skeleton outline for each project. The children will then chose one of the investigations and their final write-up will be completed in lessons when we get back to school. 

Fieldwork is an important part of Geography and getting the chance to get out of the classroom and measure real things in the real world really helps children to understand the subject better. The investigations that we will do will support and enhance the material covered in lessons and, most importantly be practical and great fun!

For CE candidates this write-up will account for 20% of their final Geography CE score whilst for scholars, some schools ask for the write-up whilst others include questions about their fieldwork in the paper.
