Geography Field trip to Stratford

14 June 2024

Year 10 Geography students visited East London to investigate how the regeneration of the Olympic Park area has affected different parts of Stratford. The students did a lot of walking (11 km in fact) and visited New Town, East Village, The Olympic Park, and Hackney Wick. 

They practiced a range of fieldwork techniques in order to collect data for their Human Geography investigation. These included Environmental Quality Surveys, Bi-polar analysis, and field sketching. Whilst doing questionnaire surveys in East Village (what was the Athletes Village during the Olympic Games) Mr Smith was approached by a member of the public and congratulated on how polite and well-behaved our students were. Well done boys!

China Trip Students also learnt about Chinese medicine. They made their own sachets with Chinese herbs and 🌺 flowers. The majority of them went for the study and relax sachets because they wanted to sleep well and be focused in their Mandarin lessons. pic.twitter.com/kzZjqHjECf
