FACE would like to thank members of the Geography Department of Furze Platt Senior School who designed this unit. We also acknowledge the authors of Cookham Voices - Ann Danks and Chrissie Rosenthal whose book is used in the Virtual Field Walk.
Introduction
The Geography Department at Furze Platt Senior School(FPSS), Maidenhead, Berkshire have developed their own unit of work for Year 7 in order to introduce pupils to geographical enquiry by using the countryside very near to the school. Furze Platt school is situated on the A308 on the very edge of Maidenhead and overlooks green belt land. The majority of the pupils live in an urban environment. Large modern housing estates adjacent to the school contrast with the farm land opposite the site.
