Topic 1: How does water go round and round?

From humble beginnings the river flows down the mountain and in to the sea. Let's put on our wellies and wade right in! How deep does it go and how fast does it travel? What soil types can you find down by the riverside? Which animals make their homes there? These are just some of the questions that we will be exploring this term.

We will research some of the world’s most majestic rivers: The Amazon, The Ganges, The Thames and the Nile as well as investigating some topical issues such as river pollution. Where did it come from and who is to blame?

Let’s meander through the world of rivers, taking a dip into their watery world!
