Cranedale 2024
From the 3rd–6th of September, our year 13 geography A-level class took a 3 hour mini-bus ride to North-Yorkshire, more specifically Kirby Grindalythe. This trip was compulsory as it was essential to develop skills needed for our non-examined-assessment, which is 20% of our final grade at A-level. We started the first day with examining plant specials and testing various variables such as soil pH, humidity. After we conducted this experiment, we had a wonderful 3 course meal provided by the kitchen staff at the centre. The next day we ventured to the coastline where we continued our experiments such as measuring gradients of the beach aswell as identify coastal landforms. On the Friday, we went to the coastal town of Scarborough. We observed the townspeople and their interactions with one another and saw how place affects emotions and the environment. In terms of the Cranedale facilities, there was tennis court, a football machine. Overall, the experience was informative and exciting as we got escape city life and become immersed in the northern demographic.
