S4 carried out a map interpretation exercise, using the OS 1/50 000 map extract of Kelso (pictured above-can ypu work out where on the map the photograoher was?) They plotted the location of the towns and individual buildings, such as farms and stately homes, on to a scale drawing. By selecting the information they required, the underlying pattern of settlement could be more easily recognised, described and then explained.
Description of settlement patterns-
Dispersed-settlemets spread over a wide area, separated by a large distance
Clustered-settlements closely spaced
Homework for Thursday 7th December:
Find out the population of Kelso; Earlston; Newtown St Boswells; St Boswells
Are they all towns?
For discussion:
Which of these settlements has a secondary school?
What do you think is the minimum size of town neededto support a secondary school?
Go to Geograph-find a picture of each of the above settlements and bring it in for your ring binder. You will be annotating it in class, so make sure it has geographical relevance.
