The children in Year 4 have been learning about rivers in their Geography lessons. As part of this learning they took part in a fieldwork visit to the River Avon, where they applied the map skills they had been learning about in previous lessons, to follow and explain the route they took from school and then to the river by the Wetlands area. They identified different features of the river that they had learnt about, particularly focusing on the meander in the river-making a sketch of this and labelling it. When they returned to school, the children used Google Earth to find out more about the geography of the River Avon following the course it takes from the source to the mouth.
