As part of the PGCE Geography course, we were asked to plan, manage and evaluate an outdoor learning opportunity using the school's local area.The field trip which I lead, was with a group of Year 8's who were studying river processes at the time. Knowing that there is a river about 10 minutes walk away from the school, I felt that doing
some rivers field work would provide a beneficial learning opprunity and give the class a greater understanding of some of the processes we were learning about in class. 
Prior to taking the class out, I visited the site to do a pre visit check, and conducted a risk assessment which incorporated travelling to/ from the site and carrying out the fieldwork.
