Last week, S3 Geography pupils accompanied by Mrs Barrie, Miss Logan and Mr Conway visited Culzean Country Park on the Ayrshire coast. In the morning led by the Country Park Rangers, pupils carried out fieldwork along the shore line to find out about the geology and the processes which formed the various landscape features. They identified stacks, arches, raised beaches and headlands and a number of other land formations.

The Country Park Rangers were very impressed with the pupils’ knowledge and how well they answered questions. After lunch pupils carried out a visitor survey and were delighted to meet people from Australia, San Francisco, England and towns in Ayrshire. The pupils were a credit to the school and will now use the information they gathered to do follow up work in class.
