Weathering Safari

We're coming to the stage in the Year 7 work when we explore weathering and how it damages the rocks and also buildings that stand there exposed to the elements.
Some buildings in Ely have been standing there for hundreds of years, so have been explosed to rain, wind, frost and other sub-aerial processes which are breaking down the surface of the earth, and whatever stands on it.
We investigated the buildings on the Junior school site.
The main Junior School building was opened in 2003, so it has been standing there for around 13 years, which makes it of similar age to the DT block. We then made our way towards Hereward, which is hundreds of years old, and also has the markings of former students' names which is a tradition at the school.
