Rivers
Year Four looked at rivers.
Sycamores take a walk around the local area.
On Monday 4th July we went on an amazing local walk. The purpose of the walk was to see how the land was used. We saw lots of great things, such as old buildings, churches, shops, homes etc. We had a lot of fun and I hope we do something like that again.
