Our GCSE Geography students recently headed to Whinlatter to put their rivers fieldwork skills into practice, making the most of the fantastic natural environment right on our doorstep.
As part of their GCSE course, students collected a range of fieldwork data, investigating river characteristics and processes to develop their understanding of how rivers work.
Living in the Lake District provides wonderful opportunities to use our local landscape as an outdoor classroom. The visit allowed students to take their learning beyond the classroom, apply their geographical knowledge in a real-world setting and gain valuable practical experience.
A fantastic opportunity to bring Geography to life and put classroom learning into practice!
