Year 5 Blue Stratford Upon Avon Visit

Although the weather was wet and miserable, it didn’t stop Year 5 having a lovely visit to Stratford Upon Avon today as part of their localities unit in Geography. This provided an opportunity for the children to visit a locality different to our own, and for them to be able to compare with familiar environments. Whilst on the trip, we were able to assess areas such as rubbish, traffic, tourist attractions, and explore human and physical features. It also provided the children with a chance to practise their map reading skills. We were lucky enough to be able to go into Holy Trinity Church, and see where Shakespeare is buried. The volunteers were very helpful and informative. The final highlight of the trip was a surprise meet with Percy Pig who gave the lucky children with some sweets for home time!

    Yes because the Sea life centre could be near to the River Avon and an activity could be learning about the river’s wildlife.

    The biggest differences is that Stratford is way smaller than Coventry Stratford is more religious it’s more churches but in Coventry there’s other places like mosques temples etc Stratford has a whole church that is the remembrance of William Shakespeare.
    Human feature the buildings, boats, clothes
    Physical feature. The animal, rivers, trees and the grass
    I think Stratford upon Avon is a tourist attraction because River Avon the Holy trinity church and there’s pretty much clean roads and paths.
    I found interesting that other people were buried there and it was so big.

    The biggest difference between Stratford upon Avon and coventry is that Stratford is like a type of town filled with famous building but coventry is just a city with houses and only a bit of famous building.
    Stratford upon Avon is a suitable place for tourists because it’s filled with amazing building that people would want to visit such as William Shakespeare birth place .
    Some human features are :
    Church
    Shakespeare’s birth place
    Some physical features are :
    The river Avon
    Trees
    Grass
    Rocks
    Something about the holy trinity is that they have sanctuary where they keep people who are chased by the police there and keep them for 34 days.

    4. I found out that Shakespeare died at the age of 52 and Stratford Upon Avon has a low life expectancy so it was interesting. I also found out that if you broke a law you could go to a place where people will give you bread and water for 37 days after that you go to prison because you done something bad ( such as breaking the law ) .

    Do you still believe that Stratford Upon Avon is a suitable location for your proposed tourist attraction?
    In my opinion I would not like this to be my tourist action because there is not much to do there.
    A human feature is the church where Shakespeares tomb is located.

    1) I think the biggest difference between Stratford and Coventry is that Stratford it is a little town unlike Coventry and it is very clean also it is the birthplace of a very famous author (William Shakespeare.)
    2) I don’t think Stratford is a suitable place to build a our location because Stratford is already a tourist attraction of William Shakespeare and so far I did not see many space suitable for the location.
    3) A physical feature I saw today was the River Avon. The human feature which I saw today was William Shakespeare’s house and Bancroft gardens.
    4) Something interesting about Holy Trinity Church was the Sanctuary Knock because you could go in there where no police can find and you would be taken care for 37 days and then be prisoned.
