Year 5 trip to Gilbert White's House
Yesterday the Year 5 children had their school trip to Gilbert White's House and Gardens. As part of the trip, the children visited the river in Selborne to calculate the velocity of water, plot a cross section of a stream and explore the invertebrate life in the river. They also created a map of a river system using natural materials and completed an orienteering activity, learning lots of facts about nature and the naturalist Gilbert White along the way. The children were praised by the Gilbert White staff for their enthusiasm. A great day was had and it was a brilliant opportunity for the children to undertake some hands on learning linking to their current 'Journey of a River' topic.
