Year 4 Beaulieu River Trip

Hawthorn class pose for a photo in the New Forest

Just before the Easter Holiday, Year 4 took a trip down to Beaulieu River as part of their geography education.

They spent the day walking along one of the tributaries of the river and took measurements of how fast the stream flowed as well as how its depth changed along its course. They also went pond dipping to take a look at how healthy the water was.

Here are some photos from the trip:
