Geography
EYFS Fieldwork Fortnight
As part of Fieldwork Fortnight, we have been outside exploring the School grounds today. Firstly, we got together with a buddy and looked at our maps. We did a fantastic job of reading these and discovering where we were! After this, we headed outside to explore the different outdoor areas on our map. At each place, we discussed what we could see, what we could hear and the different activities we can do in these areas. We then marked each area with a different face depending on how it made us feel (happy, calm, sad, excited etc).

LKS2 Fieldwork Fortnight
As part of Fieldwork Fortnight, we have been out and about exploring the School grounds to identify the features we have that are good for the environment. To begin with, we got together in pairs and had a look at a school map. We discussed the different human (buildings, fences, sheds) and physical (grass areas, gradient lines, gardens) features on the map, and once we’d found our bearings, we set off to explore! On our journey we found so many different features that help us promote, look after and maintain a good environment. We found vegetable patches, recycled garden areas, bird feeders and boxes, a bike shed, water butts, mini-beast areas, educational environment signs, a pond, a hedgehog area, recycling bins, an outdoor classroom, picnic benches…THE LIST WAS ENDLESS! After marking all these features on our maps, we got back together to discuss and share these. Overall, we were very impressed with the school grounds!

Earth Day – School Council
After helping promote Earth Day, School Council have been keen to do more to help our planet, particularly through helping the wildlife. This week, we have had a go at creating our very own recycled bird feeders to hang up around the School grounds. We had so much fun making them and are very pleased with the finished results. We hope they attract many small visitors over the coming weeks.
