Boscastle Fieldtrip for 5th Years

Our 5th Year Geography classes visited Boscastle and the Valency Valley in North Cornwall this week as part of their GCSE fieldwork. Here, they measured the river at different points to assess width, depth, velocity, and discharge. They also created field sketches of flood management schemes. Pupils demonstrated great initiative by using their mobile phones as clinometers and recording devices to assist with their investigations and analyses.

The 5th Years exhibited exemplary behaviour, and members of the public remarked on how well they worked together as a team to carry out their research. Congratulations to everyone for their focus and hard work during this valuable learning experience.
