Geography field trip linked with PE and Science
Year 6 headed out on a hike for PE down to The Brooks and the River Arun. They followed an ordnance survey map, so were focussing on roads, river and map symbols to identify landmarks as part of Geography fieldwork. The children were lucky to see a seal sunbathing on the banks of the river as the river meanders and we discussed what the seal might be eating, so linking with the Science curriculum.
