On Friday 3rd and Monday 6th October Year 11 GCSE Geography students completed their urban fieldwork in Peterborough. The trip involved visiting multiple sites around the city centre including Cathedral Square, Lincoln Road and Rivergate. Students completed data collection methods such as traffic and pedestrian counts, completing a land-use transect using city maps to show the ratio of chain to independent businesses as well as completing interviews with members of the public in Cathedral Square. Students represented UAH well, working quickly, safely and sensibly whilst in the city, even though one group had to battle the pouring rain! Now that students are back in lesson, they will use data to support their study of the Urban Futures topic, creating data presentations to display the results of their investigation.
