At St Mary's we also have opportunities to learn about Geography on school trips. Year 5 went to Walmer castle and had talks by gardeners to learn about different crops that are grow in Kent. When they returned to school they developed their learning by comparing these crops with those grown around the world. This enabled them to explore aspects of physical and human geography linked to their wider topic of Allotments.
"Sarah (the gardener) helped us learn about allotments by telling us about the food and flowers she grows," said Tara.
