Year 10 GCSE Geography Fieldwork
Year 10 GCSE Geographers assembled on Fishergate at 9:30am on Wednesday 25th June, many with Starbucks in hand, ready to test if Preston follows the Burgess Model of Urban Land Use. This involved moving outwards from the city centre to the edge of Preston to perform various test to collect data and try to ascertain if the buildings, traffic and environment quality changed as hypothesised. The students were excellent, really throwing themselves into the investigation and hopefully building clear memories of the process. The findings of the day will be tested on the students’ Paper 3 exam next summer. This is always a real strength for Penwortham Girls’. The attitude and commitment shown by these students on the day suggests that next year will be no different.
