geography studies, pupils explored Newcastle West from above using drone
technology.
The children identified key local landmarks from a bird’s eye view, giving them a
fresh perspective on how our school and town look from above.
This was a hands-on learning experience that combined geography, technology,
and creativity encouraging 6 class to see and think about their local environment
in new and exciting ways.
