We have concluded our Geography learning for this half-term with some field work to investigate how land is used in Wetherby.
The children were excellent at identifying the different uses including: commercial, residential, recreational and transport. We were disappointed not to find any land being used for agricultural purposes near our school.
Later in the week, we were inspired by Poppy’s news that people who live near her have petitioned the council to preserve the use of land for agricultural purposes. We each decided what we thought the land should be used for and shared our views with the rest of the class.
Help at home: you could take a walk in your local area and see if you can find examples of the different land uses. Here are some examples we found when doing our field work to inspire you.
