Context in which the lesson is set |
After a unit of work on map skills
in the first half term we cover the topic of settlement and shopping
using the Oxford Geography Programme as our core text. We then follow
with a unit covering an in-depth study of the growth of Bristol as
an example of the growth of settlements. Integral to this is fieldwork,
following a trail on foot to observe and begin to analyse the areas
of change and type of activity now found in the centre of Bristol.
The docks field work is a half day and is combined with a boat trip
around the city docks.
Following this a look at transport development and our understanding
of the earth's shape & distances is taught.
