• Thursday 19 December 2024 Designing a market garden This week we have used all the disciplinary skills we have been learning about in geography to design our own market garden in our 'Innovate Journal'. We had to decide a suitable location and give a six-figure grid reference using an ordnance survey map. We then had to describe the geographical features of our site and why we had chosen it. We used our knowledge of seasonality to create a planting and growing plan and decided how we would transport our goods using the transport links in our local area. Well done Year 5 - you are 'Great Geographers!'
