Look what we have been up to recently...
Last half term we have learned all about the geography of Whitby. We even visited the coastal town and completed some of our own fieldwork! We learned about physical and human geography as well as the effect of tourism on the town of Whitby. We also used some of the natural resources collected from the beach to create artwork inspired by Geoff and Anne Marie Rose, local artists to the town.
Look at some of our pictures...
