Gredos Fieldwork

Gredos was exhausting and I´m sure that I wasn´t the only one who fell asleep on the coach journey back from Spain. Mountain biking, archery, T-shirt painting, constant sunshine and the walk up to the plataforma on Thursday that felt as if it would never end all contributed to make it a truly memorablt trip.

IGCSE now have a booklet full of work for the rest of the term;
The footpath erosion survey and all the data have to be mapped and then possibly compared to the degree of erosion that is taking place alongside the football pitch at school. We shall be considering ways in which to reduce the degree of erosion through hard and soft methods.
The settlement survey data from the villages of St. Martin and Navedorrondo has to be collated and then we shall consider a variety of statistical methods in which to represent it. Your ICT skills and knowledge of Excel shall be tested to the max!
Finally after the fabulous picnic at La Cachorro when the IB students showed you how to collect data to map a river cross section that data which the IB students had gathered for their Internal Assessment is also going to be used by you. We shall look at a typical upland strean cross section and think about the Bradshaw model and what the data tells us.
I am exhausted just thinking about what you are going to be doing over the next few weeks!

IB students will be working on their Internal Assessment until the end of term, and step by step instructions will be issued over the next few weeks to help them meet all of their deadlines.
