Tomorrow (Tuesday 30th June) students will be going on fieldwork to the Discovery Museum to have a workshop and guided exhibition tour titled ‘Destination Tyneside‘. Students will work as historians interacting with and analysing primary source materials that documents migration to the North East over time. Students will then be guided around the exhibition space by another expert, following the stories of 5 individuals and connecting with our RS studies about the development of religious communities and the importance of diversity and belonging.
Students will eat their packed lunch at the Discovery Museum. We will then undertake some Geography fieldwork which we have already begun preparing for in the classroom by analysing secondary source material. Students will gather primary qualitative and quantitative data at 3 sites along Westgate Road to help them to answer the enquiry question ‘To what extent has migration created a unique character of place on Westgate Road?’
We will be travelling by metro and then in the afternoon walking Westgate Road; for this reason, students must be wearing appropriate, comfortable footwear (NO CROCS). The weather is mixed tomorrow, it will be warm but with some showers – students should bring a light waterproof jacket as well as a hat and suncream. A reminder that students must have a water bottle, a packed lunch, full pencil case and an iPad. If students are NOT dressed appropriately, they will be expected to use kit loaned from school.
We will be leaving school at 9am so it is important students arrive promptly to school. We will be back at school by 3:15pm.
Any questions, please direct to your child’s crew leader in the first instance.
