Year 3 Geography Day Out

Miss Redhead

Today Year 3 visited Coventry City Centre as part of their geography learning. They were investigating to see whether or not people improve the environment or damage it. To do this the children conducted traffic surveys at 3 different locations: outside the school, by the Walk in Centre and in the City Centre. They also conducted a litter survey at Swanswell Park. The children also explored the range of buildings in the Town Centre and discussed whether or not they enhance the area or damage the area,

What can you tell us about your findings from the litter survey? Have people improved or damaged the environment?

Look at these old pictures of the City Centre, use what you have seen today to answer the question: Have people improved the environment?

  11. Meena B.

    They improved and damaged the place because there were rubbish, cans,water bottles and food. That they don’t notice they are throwing stuff around swans well park and the swans might have no space to sit in. Like the grass and ponds. They improved by making ponds for animals like ducks or swans to live in.And what was good that they changed things around like plastic to metal and paper to card board.

  12. Hussein H.

    People have not improved the environment because they throw rubish in the ponds and they don’t realise they are hurting the animals that are in there.

  13. Muhammad D.

    People have damaged and improved because inside they have made a water feature but in the outskirts there is danger to the swans.

    My findings about the litter survey are that people are dropping more litter in the sea and there were loads of cans, orange peals and tissues.
    Have people improved or damaged the environment?
    People have been improving the environment because in most places there is not that much litter including the City Centre but there is a lot of litter in the sea.

  17. Ramandeep K.

    I found that they improve the environment and damage it by
    I think people have improved the environment and damaged it. People
    improve the environment by adding more buildings and new things have been added such as fountains, an new cathedral.
    People damage the environment by throwing litter so when it’s windy it blows the litter to go in the ocean or lakes and the litter is eaten by animals which can kill them.

  18. Osas O.

    People have improved the Environment because it’s much cleaner and nicer.People have damaged the environment because there are lots of litter and rubbish on the ground and they do not care at all.People should really nicer to nature which is not littering.Cars and factories and lots of other things produce lots of carbon dioxide which is bad for human health because humans need oxygen, clean oxygen.People really need to improve the environment.

    1. Osas O.

      (Much cleaner by having clean water I meant )

  19. Muhammed G.

    Humans have damaged the environment because they Drop litter and don’t care about the nature they put in their city. I don’t think that humans help the environment because they drop litter without care and is A really bad environment for your animals in the city. Cars and factory’s don’t help because they produce carbon dioxide which is very bad for the atmosphere it’s also really bad for human health but we need clean oxygen
    to live

  20. Bethany P.

    They have not improved the environment and have not helped the world because in all the old pictures it’s shimmery clean whereas now it’s a few rubbish on the floor but nearly everywhere!

  21. Mopelola L.

    People have improved the environment by making old places better and suitable for tourists to come in and look around but at the same time people haven’t emproved the environment because the keep litering.

    In my findings, on the litter survey I found that there was plastic pretty much everywhere! In Swanswill park, people have damaged the environment but in town, people have improved the enviroment.
    Yes, people have improved the environment by building a new cathedral and keeping it clean. Also by adding statues that tell history.

    You should add more bins and more buildings.
