Year 2 took their geography learning outside the classroom with a walk around Weymouth! The children explored the local area, spotting examples of physical geography, such as the beach, sea and coastline, and human geography, including houses, shops, roads, boats and the harbour. They observed their surroundings, made connections to their classroom learning and discovered how people use and interact with the local environment. A lovely way to bring our geography learning to life!
