Students will visit a dramatic coastal landscape, where they will encounter a range of coastal formations and processes, bringing textbook learning to life. Students will take a systems approach and use field sketches, maps, and system concepts to establish the relationship between process, time, landforms and landscapes in coastal settings,…
Students will visit a dramatic coastal landscape, where they will encounter a range of coastal formations and processes, bringing textbook learning to life. Students will use field sketches, maps and discussion to help them understand key coastal processes and systems that work to shape this environment. Students will have the opportunity…
Students will visit a dramatic post-glacial landscape, where they will encounter a range of glacial landforms first-hand. Students will use maps, field sketches and discussion to help them to understand key glacial processes and concepts. They will have the opportunity to use fieldwork equipment such as compasses and clinometers to…
Students will visit a dramatic post-glacial landscape, where they will encounter a range of glacial landforms first-hand, bringing text-book learning to life. Students will use maps, field sketches and discussion to help them to understand key glacial processes and concepts. They will have the opportunity to take measurements of the…

Investigate a local river, looking at how a river channel changes downstream. Pupils will learn about the water cycle, and how water moves through the surrounding area, before carrying out measurements along the river at two locations.
P4-P5 Explore different habitats, and discover what lives there. Identify what you have caught using simple classification keys, and discover how they move, breathe, and are adapted to their habitat. Pupils will discover what producers, predators and prey are and recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety…
Explore the local area using maps and compass skills. Discover the impact of people on the habitat using a range of fieldwork techniques.
P6-P7 Students will work scientifically to explore different habitats to find out what animals are living there and how they are adapted to their habitat. Students will collect invertebrates using a range of different techniques, identifying and classifying them. They will be able to describe how living things are classified…
