Form 6 Geography Fieldtrip

Form 6 braved the elements last Monday as they travelled to the North Yorkshire coast to fulfil field work elements of their Geography Common Entrance coursework. The pupils are studying coastal erosion so were required to take readings from three different locations along the Holderness coast. The three sites, Flamborough Head, Bridlington and Fraisthorpe Sands, each feature a different type of rock and as such manifest different effects of erosion. The pupils were able to draw sketches, investigate defences and take measurements of the cliffs, in preparation for the coursework they will be starting in class before the end of this term and completing over the Christmas holidays. The weather was less than perfect for the fieldtrip, especially by the time they reached the final site, and the pupils are to commended for their resilience and determination to complete the task before returning to the relative warmth and comfort of the minibuses.
