On Wednesday 17th May G29 students will undertake a day of Fieldwork at Sunderland Marina collecting scientific data to support the Wild Oyster Project. Students will also carry out surveys at Seaburn and Roker beaches. This will help students to study how the topography of the beach and land around impacts on the way that it is used and valued by people.
Students must be in school by 8.10am at the latest on this morning so that they can be registered before leaving.
We are leaving school by coach at 8.30am.
We expect to return to school between 4.00pm and 4.30pm (please check the website for updates during the day)
Students will need a packed lunch for the day. If your child receives a free school meal, we will provide a packed lunch.
The visit will be outdoors, so students need layers to keep warm. The forecast is dry but a waterproof outdoor coat is needed too.
Whilst at Sunderland Marina students will be working on the pontoons. Life jackets are provided during this work. Students will also walk from Roker Beach to Seaburn Beach. Comfortable shoes with a decent grip are recommended.
Students need to bring their regular kit for the day in a bag as there are exhibits in the site where students can take photographs and make notes using iPads for example.
The Wild Oyster Project have asked permission to take photographs. Permission slips have been issued. Please return them to Mr Mead at school.
