Walk to the woods

Our focus this half term is Geography and we are learning about physical and human features. 

First we looked at photos in our talk partners and decided if we could see human features (These are things made by people) or physical features (These are things that are natural)

On Thursday afternoon we went for a walk into Scotland woods, looking for human and physical features. We had looked at the online OS map in class so knew exactly the route!

We saw many human features at the beginning of the walk, such as the pavement, litter bins, lamp posts. But we also enjoyed seeing the green hedges and stood under a tree full of pink blossom.

Just before we entered the woods we looked at the Monkey puzzle tree in a garden!

As soon as we entered the woods we listened carefully to the birds singing in the trees. The trees were tall and we started to notice woodland plants, especially bluebells. 

As we walked down the path, we noticed some human features and then saw the Seven Arches Aqueduct! It was an amazing human feature to stand under and hear about how it was used to carry water to Leeds. 

We listened carefully to the water flowing in the stream and then walked up the hill to find the Buckstone rock, which is an amazing physical feature!

After a long walk we arrived back into the classroom ready for milk, snack and hometime.
