\nSecret places is a way of learning good geographical skills t help you investigate somewhere but right on your doorstep<\/p>\n
How could we do this?
\nIn pair\/groups of three you will chose (or be given a secret place or location somewhere in the school grounds:
\nYou will have to: investigate our place and think of creative ways to describe this place to others
\nYou will have 15 minutes to investigate outside then 15 minutes back in class to prepare your clues to share with the class
\nCommunicate only your clues to others – be selective with the information you give – think carefully, what should you reveal first? <\/p>\n
What kind of clues could I give to describe a place?
\nWhat ideas to you have?
\nWhat clues do detectives look for?
\nYou will have your senses, paper and pencils
\nWhat could you do?<\/p>\n
Make simple sketches of something in your secret place, e.g. a tree, a bin, etc.
\nPick up ‘evidence’, e.g. leaves, gravel, etc.<\/p>\n
Make rubbing of surfaces, e.g. the floor <\/p>\n
Describe different senses: e.g. I can hear……, I can smell…….., I can feel……….. <\/p>\n
Photograph something from your place<\/p>\n
