This week, Year 4 explored how rivers are formed, learning about the three courses of a river: the upper course, middle course and lower course.
The children were fascinated to discover how a river changes as it travels from its source to its mouth, and they enjoyed discussing the features found in each stage.
Working in small groups, the pupils created their own 3D models to represent each course of a river. They used a range of materials to show waterfalls, meanders and floodplains, and it was wonderful to see how confidently they explained their ideas to one another.
The activity encouraged teamwork, creativity and lots of geographical vocabulary.
