Geographers Celebrate Earth Day with Outdoor Fieldwork

To mark Earth Day on 22nd April, Year 7 geography students took their learning outside to explore the school environment through hands-on fieldwork.

Students investigated how human geography can impact the physical environment, identifying natural features across the site and completing detailed field sketches. As part of the activity, they also observed how the landscape has been shaped and changed by human activity.

The session included a practical nature hunt, where students identified different trees, leaves and plant life around the school grounds, helping to build their understanding of local ecosystems.

Spending over an hour outdoors, students engaged fully with their surroundings while developing key geographical skills in a real-world setting. It was a fantastic opportunity to combine classroom learning with outdoor exploration in the warm weather.
