Winding Rivers
Children can explore the physical geography of the local area and how this affects local people. They will develop an understanding of the characteristics of the river through practical fieldwork.
The activities start with a short session in the Ibbett Room to introduce them to the river and its affects on local people. Activities will focus on developing children’s field sketching and OS map skills. Children will visit the river and in groups explore the characteristics of river, including its flow and the material it carries, through simple practical fieldwork. This will involve them working together to use instruments to measure and record their observations.
This programme will normally cost £50 for all materials and is self-led, but this year we are able to offer it for free because of the funding we have been given to develop educational resources.
Up to an hour long briefing with our programme manager will help you deliver these as self-led programmes.
