Geography Field Trip for Year 12

In mid-march, we visited Slapton Leyfield centre to carryout ourdata collectionfor GeographyA Level coursework. The centre washuge,there musthavebeen about 5 other schools there,but it was surrounded bybeautiful Devonshire countryside and only5 minutes walkfrom thefamous ‘Slapton Sands’ barrierbeach. Wehad aday on the coast, measuringrocks; adayin the fields, measuringsoil and adayin the ‘Transition Town’ of Totnesdoingsurveys and,for me, a spot of shopping(it reallywas the second-hand shopcapital!).

Then, we each chose which location we’dlik back to to carryout our investigations that ra fromhowhumanshave affected the carbon cycle to secondhomes alongthehigh street. In the evenings wehadlessons(colouring-in essentially) and thenfree time to go to the games room, go on seaside walks or watch movies once wefinished our work. Crows aside,the centre was great, we got to know our geographyclassmatesbetter and it was an all round success of a trip.
