Compass skills at Williamsons park. 19.03.2025

For our Cultural Capital trip, Nicky Nook visited Williamsons Park in Lancaster. Children focused on compass skills and had to navigate around the park from instructions telling them to walk north, south, east or west.

Children then had to locate any human and physical geography as they moved around the park. We then compared two maps of Lancaster, one from the past and one from the present. We then discussed the differences between them and that there was much more physical geography in the past compared to now. We went onto discuss why this has happened and that both humans and animals have had to adapt. Children could identify that, because there are more humans now, there is more human geography.
