A skill in the year 6 geography is to develop sampling.

The pupils worked in pairs to systematically sample the landscape of Gillibrand Primary School. The pupils started in different places in the school grounds and travelled in a range of directions to sample a wide area of the school grounds.

We noticed that a lot of our natural colours are green. This led to lots of questions about our enviroment. Is this because it's winter? Do we have a variety of plants? Will this affect the wildlife of our school grounds?
