2. There are four seasons, and signs of each of them can be seen in the school grounds.
3. Fieldwork outside, e.g. finding signs of autumn, develops geographical vocabulary, observation and recording skills.
4. Geographers take photographs, draw pictures, make models, or add information to maps to record what they notice.
