Geography and er... ice creams?

Clipboards at the ready - off we go.

Mrs. De Jager and Mrs. Roberts enjoy their ice creams.
The old saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."   Which, when work is such fun, is not really an issue when you're working hard in Year 5.  However, last week, before our half term break, we took our learning outside the classroom and applied our Geography knowledge to the community around us.

Officially, we were investigating land use, whether it was used for transport, housing, public buildings, industrial use, commercial, and so on.  Our compound here offered us the chance to investigate these different land uses, and to plot them on a map.

Ms. Thomas says that it was purely coincidental that we had to closely investigate commercial use, namely the compound shop, and that she doesn't know how it was that we all ended up with an ice cream.  All part of the research, we feel!
