Geography - Fieldword Around Blandford St Mary

This is us doing the traffic survey.

Recently Year 5 had a trip around Blandford St Mary.  On the trip we did a survey on the traffic coming from and to Dorchester. Also we had a look at the natural areas, amenities, shops and services. We thought about the quality of different environments.  For example, by the Dorchester Road it was very noisy, over 100 decibels.  In a traffic survey we counted 18 cars, 1 bike and 1 lorry in just 1 minute. This was very different to Stour Meadows where there is a variety of nature and much quieter. In BSM we have a Tesco and a Homebase store. We also found out that the population of BSM was 1460 in 2007.
