This week, Year 3 have had their geography field trip to Hessle.

We were all very excited to see how the town of Hessle would be different to our visit to the village of Brantingham.

Hessle is close enough for us to be able to walk there from school so we went on our field trip together.

In Hessle we noticed that there were lots more buildings than in Brantingham and there were lots more people around the area.

Hessle has a different land use to Brantingham. The village had lots of agricultural land but the town has more commercial and industrial land.

We carried out lots of field work during our visit to the town of Hessle. We carried out a traffic survey ensuring we used the same guidlines as we had in Brantingham such making sure we counted traffic for exactly 10 minutes. We also walked around the area identifying several features such as places of worship, post offices, shops, pubs and parks. Hessle had lots more of all of these features than Brantingham had.

We are looking forward to comparing our findings between a town and a village in our next geography lesson.
