Over the final half term of this academic year, team Geography has offered a range of enrichment opportunities for our KS3 students.

The first trip taking place for our Y9s to The Deep, where they had the opportunity to explore different marine biomes and take part in activities learning around the challenges of litter and microplastics in our ocean. 

Next, 66 Y7 students were taken on safari in the little seen summer sunshine around Yorkshire Wildlife Park, learning about animals from around the world and how human activities are affecting their habitats. . .along with being allowed to let off some steam in the park!

Finally, 48 Y8 students hopped on a coach to Hornsea to explore coastal processes and the impacts of coastal defences and tourism in the area. 

Along with being given the opportunity to enjoy some of the tourist attractions themselves. We then drove up to Flamborough Head to explore the fascinating headland features and observe some of the local wildlife such as seals and puffins. 

On all three visits our students were fantastic, representing the best of themselves wherever we went, making the trips huge successes.

We look forward to offering these trips again next year, along with a number of other opportunities to take place throughout the year. 

Thank You for being fantastic!
