River adventures

Donning wellies and clutching iPads and sketch books, our intrepid Year 6 set off for a day long Geography and ICT trip to the Severn estuary. Having learnt all about rivers in the classroom, their studies were brought to life as the children saw for themselves features such as meanders, flood plains and river erosion. Pictures were taken and sketches made of the rivers Severn and Wye, before the children travelled to Cannop Ponds. Wading in the water and measuring the speed, width and depth of the water was - needless to say - great fun for the children, (and only one fell in!) A full day of hands-on activities most successfully brought classroom theory to life!
