On Wednesday, our year 6 children went on their fieldwork study to Crickley Hill. The children first walked over from Leckhampton Hill and used their maps to track the route we were taking. On arrival, the children had three tasks to undertake: to hike for 1 mile up and down steep sections using a map to explore gradient, to examine how tourism has changed the area on the top of Crickley Hill and to identify local landmarks observable from the top and sketch the view. Finally, the children had to walk home from the top back to school.
It was a very long day for the children in very muddy conditions, but they did an outstanding job – gamely walking over 7 miles in all! There were plenty of sore legs at the end. Well done Year 6!
