Beach Becomes Classroom for the Day
Posted: 19th April 2023A trip to the beach gave students an opportunity to prepare for their exams.
Year 10 and 11 students took a trip to Walton on the Naze as part of their studies.
The geography students worked with the Field Studies Council to measure beach profiles and sediment size and to discuss the impact of coastal management along the coastline.
Kayleigh Trainor, geography teacher, said: “Students will use this day and information to support them in completing their GCSE geography paper.
“For Year 11, this was their second day of fieldwork as they have previously spent a day in London comparing the quality of life in two different locations.
“It was an opportunity for students to bring to life the learning that takes place in the classroom and to be actively taking part in live geography. They got to use the equipment to collect their data, so as we can build on this and continue the exam preparation ahead of the summer external examinations.
“It was the perfect opportunity to bring learning to life outside of the classroom.”
