As part of their study into microclimates, pupils ventured out to different locations around the school site to carry out practical investigations. Equipped with thermometers, anemometers and worksheets, students worked in small groups to record data on temperature, wind direction, and sunlight levels across various spots in the playground and surrounding areas. The hands-on lesson aimed to help students understand how environmental conditions can vary even within a small geographical space, and how buildings, surfaces, and shade can all influence microclimates. Head of Geography, \[Insert Teacher's Name\], said: “We’re always looking for opportunities to take learning beyond the classroom. Today’s lesson was a perfect chance to link theory with real-world application, and the students loved being outside collecting data.” The lesson not only gave students a better grasp of the topic, but also encouraged teamwork, curiosity and a more active learning style — all while enjoying some rare Lancashire sunshine. A big well done to all the students for their enthusiasm and engagement throughout the activity! - [ previous](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-05-09-showcase-friday-was-busy-as-usual) - [next ](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/news/2025-05-21-exams-underway-at-lsa-good-luck-year-11) [![International School Award](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/isa-web-banner-300x70.jpg)](https://schoolsonline.britishcouncil.org/content/international-school-award-about)[![Stonewall](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/StonewallOG2(1).png)](http://www.stonewall.org.uk/)[![CEOP](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/blue_large_final_Click_CEOP_gif_(3).gif)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre)![SSAT Member](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/SSAT_Member_Badge_Colour1.png)![We are reading ](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/We_Are_Reading_logo_(4).jpg)![Apprenticeship Champion](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/App_Champion_logo_School_badge-01(1).png)![Operation Encompass](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/logo-next-steps.png)[![Digital Healthy Schools](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/partners/digital-healthy-schools-landscape-logo.3f633add.jpg)](https://lythamhigh-lancs.digitalhealthyschools.co.uk/) ### School Resources - [Developing Vocabulary](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/Developing-Vocabulary) - [Learning Wall](http://lsa.thelearningwall.co.uk/) - [Student Support](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/student-support) - [Anti-Bullying Support](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/antibullying-support) ### Useful Links - [Microsoft 365 Copilot](https://login.microsoftonline.com/) - [Synergy](https://lsa.schoolsynergy.co.uk/) - [Synergy Parent Guides](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/parents/synergy/synergy-guide) - [Student Synergy App (Apple)](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/synergy-student/id6444856817) - [Student Synergy App (Android)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synergy.student&hl=en_GB) - [Hire school facilities](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/hire-us) - [CPOMS](https://lythamhigh.cpoms.net/) - [ Modern Slavery Statement](https://cctrust.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Modern-Slavery-Statement-Jan-26.pdf) ### Contact Us **Lytham St Annes High School** Albany Road Lytham St Annes Lancashire FY8 4GW Tel: 01253 733192 ### Connect With Us [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/LSAHighSchool/) [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@lythamstanneshighschool4750) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/lsahighschool/) © Copyright 2013–2026 Lytham St Annes High School– [View Privacy Notice](https://lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/school-information/privacy-notices).
