Today Year 4 braved the weather (we had rain, wind, sunshine and a bit of hail!) to do our geography!  We have been learning about field work and today we did some of our own linked to our topic of "The Local Area".  We learnt that geographers carry out surveys to get information and so we did a traffic survey about which types of vehicles used the A6.  It seems that cars are the most common!  We also saw buses, lorries, bicycles, vans, motorbikes and some vehicles from the emergency services.  It was not easy to keep a tally of all the different vehicles but we did our best!  

We also learnt about field sketches and so did our own based on the view from the top playground.  We had to look really carefully at the many different physical and human features we could see.  We also had to include the compass points to show the orientation of our view, labels and headings.  It was not easy in the rain!  Well done Year 4 for persevering and being great geographers.
