Yesterday I accompanied one of the year 11 groups (not the one I teach) to Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire to collect data for their controlled assessment on Footpath erosion.
I have been out before in previous years to assist with other 11 groups in their coursework but this was the first time I had led a group on my own.
My little group worked very hard and were very proactive in their approach to data collection, which was very positive. It was clear all students understood the design brief of their focused controlled assessment question and were very inquisitive.
It was an enjoyable change to be outside of the classroom (I'm sure the lovely weather helped too!) I don't teach any of these students but I have seen some of their beahviour in other lessons (Not always model behaviour shall we say.) I observed and can say they were brilliant out in the field. It's amazing to see how different some students approaches are when they are not restricted to four walls and being confined to a chair.
I am off again on Friday on the same trip with the group I teach, so let's hope for more of the same.
