That's day 3 done at @FSCBlencathra. Today we had an hour in the classroom discussing what makes a good enquiry question, before a short walk. The students were then taken down to Keswick, where they were treated to proper northern fish and chips! What a few days we've had!
Day 2 of our field trip to @FSCBlencathra. Today we were in Keswick all day in gorgeous #LakeDistrict sunshine, practising human fieldwork techniques. Some really good ideas for NEAs coming together!

Today I took our year 13s down to London to look at Regeneration in Kings Cross as part of their near place changing places case study. It has been a really informative trip and has really helped them understand the big ideas in the module. Great work all!
