This document discusses the importance and benefits of fieldwork in geography education. It provides tips and examples of how to conduct effective fieldwork, including using local areas to observe changes over time, collecting data, using technology like Google Earth and photos, and ensuring student safety during field trips. Risk assessments and follow-up activities after fieldwork are also recommended to further learning and assessment.

- 6. What OFSTED think (if you’re interested) “ Well planned fieldwork in geography adds clear value to learning in the subject as well as providing a positive contribution to the wider curriculum.” “ Follow up from fieldwork also provides very good support for extended writing, numeracy linked to the analysis of data, sketching, map work, formulating hypotheses and thinking skills.” “ Enquiry-based fieldwork sharpens and deepens learners’ understanding of geography and the progressive development of geographical skills”

Editor's Notes
- #29: Use photographs of locations to be visited on a field trip for your own record of risk assessments and for your pupils to rehearse behaviour strategies. What are the safety issues here? How could you link it with the literacy strategy?
