Year 3 Walk Around Mossley

On Thursday 5th May the Year 3 classes had a wonderful day! As a part of our new topic, we spent the morning studying the local area. We walked from School on a selected route around Mossley, stopping at The Queen's Head public house for juice and biscuits before returning back to school.

On our walk, we mapped out the route that we followed, also adding in OS symbols to show the different points that we passes. Furthermore, we looked at the different services available close to our school including convinienve shops, take-aways and transport stations.

We also did a timed survey of how many cars passed our group within 2 minutes and repeated again for how many people passed us.

When we returned to school we compared and evaluated our results and discussed why we had the results that we did.

We then spent the afternoon sketching and completing observational drawings of the different landscapes around us.

We had a super day! Thank you for all of the staff and parent helpers that attended and helped to make our trip possible. :) Pictures will follow soon!
