We've had such a busy month during #NationalFestivalofFieldwork ! Place geography in Minehead yesterday with A Level geographers from @TheCooperSchool and @HerschelGrammar . Took a moment to sit down with one of the Minehead Metalheads community statues. #senseofplace
With the #NationalFestivalofFieldwork well underway, we were very excited to take @WestonbirtSch to Braunton Burrows today to look at psammoseral succession.
The Burrows are England’s largest sand dune system and harbour over 500 different plant species!

Before heading home, Year 5 had an exciting morning checking their mammal traps! We took a look to see what we had caught before safely releasing the animals back to their habitats.
We are now on our way back home after a fantastic week away. Thank you, Nettlecombe Court! 🥾🏞️
