Students in Year 9 will be taking part in a Crew Day which connects to their guiding question in their current learning expedition:
“What is our relationship with the natural world?”
The day will include navigating to specific waypoints around Windy Nook Nature Reserve and study of flora and fauna species in the different habitats at the reserve.
Students will also use map reading skills to find geocaching targets and can use their smartphones at designated points to take macro photography.
Students will need:
- Their regular kit for the day
- A water bottle
- Warm layers and a coat – there are showers forecast for the afternoon
- Appropriate footwear for the day – comfortable trainers, or hiking boots – not crocs.
- A smartphone is optional – this will be the responsibility of the student to keep safe
The nature reserve is quite close to the school so we will return to school for regular lunchtime – a packed lunch is not needed unless students normally bring a packed lunch.
