Planning a fieldwork route
In this Geography video, teachers are supported in helping the children plan a safe and purposeful route for conducting their fieldwork enquiry. The route will depend on the class’s chosen enquiry question, which could take them to a park, a local high street or the area around school.
The children draw their planned route on an Ordnance Survey map, marking key data collection points and considering how different environments suit different methods, such as measuring traffic near roads or conducting surveys in pedestrian-heavy zones. The video also shows how pupils can assess potential risks and plan appropriate mitigations, including not handling litter or vegetation directly, dressing for weather conditions and staying within range of adult supervision.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Geography – Fieldwork videos, supporting teachers to guide the children in organising and navigating local fieldwork experiences safely and effectively.
