Fieldwork “Fieldwork is thebest and most immediate means of bringing the two aspects of the subject (i.e. a body of knowledge and a distinctive method of study) together in the experience of the pupil. Therefore, fieldwork is a necessary part of geographical education; it is not an optional extra” (Bailey, 1974) https://gapresidents.blogspot.com/2019/10/19 85-patrick-bailey.html https://gapresidents. blogspot.com/2020/0 4/1961-mr-geoffrey- e-hutchings.html

Contact with the actual landscape is contact with reality. Confined within classroom walls, geography is an impoverished shadow, like chemistry without experiments or biology without recourse to tangible specimens of plants and animals. J Allan Patmore, 1980

- 38. Discussions Discuss the patternsof land-use that are observed. Students should be able to discuss the most common land-use and reasons why particular activities might be missing from the map. Discuss with students what else could be added to the map as well as the land use? If time permits, students could identify a method for doing this. Building Heights: a number label can be added to show the number of floors in a building – we would expect this to be higher near the centre, where land values are higher, and buildings are often many stories high. Position of waste paper bins: this, and other street furniture can contribute to the way that an area is used, or misused Location of CCTV cameras: if these are present, does that suggest high crime levels, or do they improve safety and security? The area that is covered by a CCTV camera could also be visualised using the buffer tool. Location of graffiti: many councils will use GIS to identify locations where graffiti is found, to prioritise the work of cleaning teams.

National Fieldwork Week https://www.geography.org.uk/National-Fieldwork-Week Asimple, common theme of ‘Change’ has been chosen as this allows flexibility in deciding what to investigate to best advantage. Most areas will have experienced significant changes, many because of the pandemic. This will be an opportunity to take our classes out to investigate, observe, discover, challenge, test out ideas and gain a deeper and wider understanding of the world around them. You could combine your fieldwork with events to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee in early June. Remember, if you are busy during National Fieldwork Week you can always choose your own date.
