As part of Fieldwork Fortnight, we have been out and about exploring the School grounds to identify the features we have that are good for the environment. To begin with, we got together in pairs and had a look at a school map. We discussed the different human (buildings, fences, sheds) and physical (grass areas, gradient lines, gardens) features on the map, and once we’d found our bearings, we set off to explore! On our journey we found so many different features that help us promote, look after and maintain a good environment. We found vegetable patches, recycled garden areas, bird feeders and boxes, a bike shed, water butts, mini-beast areas, educational environment signs, a pond, a hedgehog area, recycling bins, an outdoor classroom, picnic benches…THE LIST WAS ENDLESS! After marking all these features on our maps, we got back together to discuss and share these. Overall, we were very impressed with the school grounds!
