COASTAL FIELD TRIP BRINGS GEOGRAPHY TO LIFE FOR YEAR 13 STUDENTS

To develop students’ knowledge of potential coursework investigations, Year 13 Geography students travelled to Hornsea on the Holderness Coast on fieldwork excursions.
Whilst there, they undertook several physical investigations from beach profiles, sediment movement and the impact of the hard engineering projects on the coastal areas surrounding the town.
After a fish and chip lunch they then set off into Hornsea town centre to investigate the nature of the town, an environmental quality survey and the usage of the town for locals and tourists.
This trip is a great extension of classroom learning and brings to life what the students have learnt in lessons. It improves their understanding of coastal processes, their experience of different landforms around the region and provides an excellent opportunity of gaining specific data which can be used in their non-examined assessments.
