Stranded on a deserted island...


So far this term the KS3 Geography students have been very busy! 
The Year 7s imagined they were on a plane that was taking them on a fieldtrip to a far off destination. However the plane crashed in horrible storm over the ocean and the 30 students have been stranded and left to survive on a desert island. They have been mapping the island with four and six figure grid references, drawing field sketches, designing a map of the island, planning and creating their settlements whilst making important decisions on how they can survive for as long as possible! 



It has been great to see the students so engaged and involved in such key geographical skills in a different way.
