Our Year 2 children had a fantastic time exploring the area around school as part of their geography fieldwork. Working in small groups, they followed a map to spot different physical and human features in the environment. Along the way, they also investigated where local animals live and discussed how our actions can help – or harm – their habitats. It was a brilliant hands‑on learning experience that brought their geography and science topics to life!

The children then thought carefully about where to place different parts in their own artwork to help their pictures stand out and look realistic
