GEOGRAPHY
Beachcombing & River Rambling Adventures! 🏖️🌊🏞️

Get ready for some outdoor exploration and discovery! Today's lesson takes us to two amazing natural wonders: beaches and rivers.

Beaches:

Grab your bucket and spade and head to the nearest beach!

🔍 What to look for:

• Seashells: Different shapes, sizes, and colours. Can you identify any?

• Tide pools: Peek into these mini-ecosystems teeming with life like crabs, snails, and seaweed.

• Sand: Notice the different textures and colours. What's it made of?

• Birds: Observe the various types of birds soaring above or scavenging for food.

• Waves: Feel the power of the ocean and notice how they shape the shoreline.

Rivers:

Pack a picnic and explore the banks of a local river.

🔍 What to look for:

• Wildlife: Keep an eye out for ducks, fish, insects, and maybe even otters or kingfishers!

• Rocks and pebbles: Examine the shapes, sizes, and colours. How did they get there?

• Plants: Identify the different types of plants growing along the riverbank.

• Current: Notice how fast the water is moving. What happens to objects that fall in the river?

• Bridges: If you come across a bridge, think about how it was built and why it's important.

• Remember:

Be safe and respectful of the environment.

Take photos of your discoveries to create a nature journal or scrapbook.

Share your findings with us on social media using #EdExpress!

Whether you're exploring sandy shores or meandering along riverbanks, there's so much to discover in nature. So grab your boots, put on your explorer hat, and get ready for an adventure!
