On Wednesday 21st May, Year 8 went to explore Étretat on the Normandy coast.

The purpose of their visit was to find out how physical and human processes have helped to shape Étretat, as part of their unit on Coasts.

They used a variety of fieldwork skills, from carrying out beach profiles, completing field sketches and measuring footpath erosion, to completing an Environmental Quality Survey.

Even though the weather was rather wet, the students showed great resilience and determination to collect their fieldwork data.

Overall, they had a very productive day and were able to
enjoy a well earned ice cream after all their hard work.

A special thank you to all the staff who helped to support the trip.
