Geography Local Walk

Today both Year 1 classes had a walk around Gurnard, as part of our current Geography unit on ‘Our Local Area.’ We looked at the different street furniture we could see and noted every time we saw post boxes, street lamps, bins, bus stops etc. We were all very surprised at how many street lamps we spotted. We then stopped down on Gurnard green and looked around to see what things are ‘Physical’ Geography and which things are ‘Human’ Geography. We then had a quick run round on the green to try and warm up as it was quite chilly!
