During their Geography lessons, students in Year 5y have currently been discovering how the downhill flow of streams and rivers eats into the land, transporting rocks, boulders, tree trunks... and how this movement slows from the upper course to the lower course, so that what was transported from the steeper slopes, is deposited in the lower course of the river.  They have explored how this process of erosion, transportation and deposition creates different landforms, and how river landscapes change while travelling downstream from the source of the river to its mouth.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-related restrictions, hands-on investigations of this process could not be done on school premises.  However, the students and their families enjoyed testing this theory at home.  Heartfelt gratitude to all the parents who allowed this to happen, in spite of the extra house work it surely entailed.
