On Friday, G28 GCSE geographers will participate in their first required fieldwork for their two-year course.
They will investigate the regeneration of the Ouseburn area in Newcastle, building on their first unit of study, where they explored the question: “Is Newcastle a city of opportunity or challenge?” We will be joined by Northumbria University geographer Michael Jeffries, who will provide valuable insights into the history and geography of the Ouseburn.In the coming weeks, students will analyse their findings and answer the fieldwork question: “Has regeneration had a positive impact on the Ouseburn?”
Students will spend the full day conducting fieldwork. They should bring their regular kit, including their iPads, and be prepared for the weather. The current forecast is cool with a low chance of rain.
