Denham Country Park Visit - Year 6

Year 6 enjoyed a great - if rather wet - day out at Denham Country Park on Thursday.  Although the weather wasn't particularly kind at the start of the day, it did improve as the day went on and they even saw a glimpse of the sun! During the day the children took part in three activities: River Dipping, River Dynamics and a Wild Walk.  During River Dipping, they were able to find a variety of river life and look at them closely with magnifying glasses in order to identify them; during River Dynamics the children took part in scientific investigations to measure the width of the river, the depth of the river and the rate of flow of the river; and on the Wild Walk, they explored the park and visited the canal lock (this even included a game of Pooh Sticks!)  A great day was had by all and we were very impressed with the children's behaviour and with how much they have learned so far from the Year 6 river topic!
