Exploring Rivers
In year 4 we have been learning about how and why River landscapes change over time. We learnt the words 'erosion', 'transportation' and 'deposition' and explored the effects of these.
When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.
