Shrewsbury 2010 - Geography Trip

On Wednesday 10th February Miss Robinson, Miss Prescott and Mr McCambley were impressed to see 40 Year 12
student’s eager, packed (some for a month!) and ready to go before 7am! After a long 6 and a half hour journey the
group arrived at FSC Preston Montford to start a fieldwork programme to prepare them for their Unit 2 examination.
During the three days the students were an asset to the school and worked extremely hard despite the very long
hours that were expected of them. Well done Year 12 ! Miss Robinson and Miss Prescott
This trip was an enjoyable educational experience. We stayed for two nights in ‘Preston Montford’, measuring the
weather and assessing flood risks in the local town of Shrewsbury which has experienced some large floods in past
years. We learnt how they dealt with this issue using flood defences. On the final day we went to their local farm,
‘Battlefield 1403’ which has undergone rebranding, and whilst evaluating the rebranding process we had a pretty
enjoyable day. The farm shop sausages were very nice and we all had an enjoyable time and made friendships that
will last a lifetime. By Ellie Walker and the rest of 122/Gg2
