This week, Year 1 went on a wonderful Geography trip to Minet Country Park! We put on our coats and set off to be real geographers.

At the park, we looked carefully for human and physical features. We spotted trees, ponds, and hills, which are all physical features made by nature. We also saw human features like paths, bridges, benches, and car parks that people have built.

Our enquiry question for the day was:

“Are there enough signposts in Minet Country Park?”

We worked in teams to look around and count how many signposts we could find. Some groups thought there were plenty, but others noticed that it was easy to get a little lost! We had great discussions about how signs help people find their way and why they are important in parks.

When we came back to class, we used everything we had seen to draw our own maps of the park. We added the paths, trees, ponds, and even remembered to include a key for our symbols — just like real cartographers!

Everyone had such a fun time learning outdoors and using their geography skills in the real world. Well done, Year 1 Geographers!
