Y2 Geography - Local Area Walk

This week, Year 2 took their Geography lesson into the real world with an exciting fieldwork experience in Hexham. Using the mapping skills they’ve been practising in class, the children followed a route they created with Digi maps. They visited local landmarks such as the Hexham Abbey, the Queen’s Hall, the Monument and the Bandstand.

Along the way, they captured photos of these important sites and created a soundscape, recording the various sounds of their surroundings. Despite getting caught in the rain (and hailstone?!) the children made the most of the experience and had lots of fun!
