Year 13 Geography students are working very hard on their field trip to Flatford Mill in Suffolk. On arrival on Sunday they went straight to work by conducting a variety of surveys in the local village of Dedham. Today the focus has been on coastal erosion. A variety of measurements were taken on different parts of the beach at Walton on the Naze to analyse the effectiveness of different types of coastal defences. Tomorrow they are heading to Harwich for a study focusing on the topic of โPlaceโ and the character of the town. The students have been lucky to enjoy beautiful sunshine for the whole trip so far. This trip is vital preparation for the studentsโ coursework studies, which they will begin in earnest when they return to school, putting into practice what they have learnt on this trip.
