SPA Geog Year 8- Field Trip to Woodlands Farm Trust
The first
Geography Field Trip of the new school year was to The Woodlands Farm Trust.
Thirty year 8 students took part in a range of map work activities that helped
consolidate their understanding of maps and mapping, completed at the end of
year 7. 
After a mini map
work refresher the students took part in an outdoor key word activity that
involved them using their teamwork and communication skills.
After lunch the
final full farm orientation group activity combined all the skills they had
learned throughout the day. The student’s behaviour and participation was
excellent. The students spoke enthusiastically about the trip on the bus journey
home, many of them mentioning how much they had enjoyed themselves and how
outside the classroom learning helped with their understanding of maps. It was
a truly enjoyable and educational way to start the year.
