Welcome to SLAMnet's 'Suffolk from the Air' site:

The five themes from the CD-ROM (physical, industrial, rural, urban and leisure) can be accessed by clicking on the icons in the menu bar at the top of every page. Photographs from the 12 Theme Sheets can be accessed from the icon on the menu bar at the bottom of every page. Also on the bottom menu bar, find a link back to SLAMnet, a link back to this page and a map of Suffolk.

How to copy the photographs:

All photographs can be copied by clicking on the image with the right mouse button and selecting 'COPY'. Images can then be 'pasted' into Microsoft Word for enlarging. Once pasted, click on the image once (this will select the image for editing) and a little square will appear at each corner and on each side of the image. Placing your mouse cursor over the squares will result in a little arrow replacing the cursor. Click down and hold the left mouse button and 'drag' the image to the size required before printing.

Suggestions for using the photographs in lessons:

1. Pupils working in pairs locate the photographs in Suffolk and mark them (on copies of maps of Suffolk) where the photographs were taken.
2. Ask pupils questions like:
   • How can we get from our school to each of these places?
   • How long will each journey take?
   • Could there be an alternative route to take to these places?
   • What might the journey cost?
   • Do the houses look the same as the ones in your area?
   • Would the houses be nice to live in?
   • Where are the shops / services?
   • What do you think it would be like to live in the places?
   • What work could they or their family do?
   • Is the countryside the same as near their houses?
   • What leisure activities could they do in the area?
3. Look at similarities and differences to where they live. Pupils could write these down as a list working in groups or individually.
4. What can you remember? Working in pairs, pupils memorise what the picture shows and tell the other who checks the answers.
5. Using duplicated sets of picture, pupils generate questions about sections of the image and write their questions around the edge. This can be used to generate future work; either for research or formal lessons on certain geographical aspects of the photographs.
6. Pupils can identify areas in the photo and map with different land uses. They then take these elements and design another place using these areas to inform their thinking about what is needed by different members of a community.
