We are pleased to announce the GA and FSC have, as part of our strategic partnership, created a set of spiralised fieldwork resources.
The GA fieldwork survey told us that:
- teachers want new ideas for carrying out fieldwork within their school grounds and local area
- they want to embed these ideas within their current curricula
- they want resources that non-specialists can pick up and deliver
- they want resources that will build progression and don’t just repeat the same techniques but in a different context
The sets of spiralised fieldwork resources were created to support teachers by creating a starting point for fieldwork that can be done in the school grounds and local area. They can be embedded in schemes of work, but also can provide suggestions for activities during transition days or simply when the sun is shining and you want to get outside!
There are four sets to get you started; two themes based on water and trees and woodlands and two techniques, Environmental Quality Assessment and questioning techniques. However, we will be adding more over the coming months.
Jon Cannell, GA Primary Curriculum Lead said:
‘The GA and FSC are extremely excited to release a brand-new collection of FREE resources to support the integration and progression of fieldwork through the geography curriculum. Each set of resources provides easy to use activities connected to key themes from across the geography curriculum as well as introducing geographical ways of thinking and understanding.’
