GEOGRAPHY IN THE CITY
Exploring Liverpool9s Changing Landscape
Our Year 10 Geographers enjoyed their
second field trip in Liverpool,
investigating how regeneration projects
have helped transform parts of the city.
Working at two of Liverpool's most
recognisable locations, Albert Dock and
Liverpool ONE, students collected data
that will support their Human Geography
fieldwork analysis for Paper 3 of their
GCSE course.
At Albert Dock, students completed field
sketches and land-use surveys while
learning about the area's industrial
heritage and how it has evolved into one
of Liverpool's most popular destinations.
They then travelled to Liverpool One,
where they carried out Environmental
Quality Surveys (EQS) to assess
whether regeneration projects have
improved the quality of the built
environment.
Despite the soaring temperatures,
students remained focused and
enthusiastic throughout the day,
gathering valuable primary data that
they will analyse back in the classroom
as part of their GCSE studies.
Both visits were a huge success and
provided students with invaluable firsthand experiences that will support their
Geography GCSE studies as they move
into Year 11.
All students embraced every
activity, collected some
fantastic data and were a real
credit to the school.
