Look what we have been up to recently...

In this half term we have been learning all about the Geography of Whitby, a coastal town in the North Yorkshire Moors. We have learned about Whitby's location, geographical features including physical and human, land use in the town and the effect of tourism. We loved our trip to the town and we completed fieldwork, drawing maps and locatng key features.
