In the autumn term, Year 1 students embarked on an exciting fieldwork trip to explore the local area of Greenwich. The purpose of the trip was to investigate and identify both human and physical features, helping the children develop a deeper understanding of their surroundings.
As the students ventured out, they observed various physical features such as trees, grassy areas, hills, and the River Thames. The vibrant autumn leaves provided a colourful backdrop, and the children were encouraged to collect different types of leaves and describe the textures and colours they found. They discussed how the landscape changes with the seasons, noticing the cooler weather and the falling leaves as indicators of autumn.
In addition to physical features, the trip allowed the students to observe human features in their community. They walked past the busy streets lined with shops, houses, and offices. The children were taught how human activities, such as transportation and construction, shape the environment.
Throughout the trip, students took notes, made drawings, and discussed what they saw. This hands-on experience not only helped them understand the differences between human and physical features but also fostered a greater appreciation for their local area. The trip concluded with a reflection on how both human and physical features contribute to making Greenwich a vibrant and unique place to live.
