En Year 6, queríamos ir al campo o al río para vivir la geografía de cerca. El río que pasa por Cártama, por desgracia está muy sucio por lo que decidimos no visitar ese tramo. Finalmente fuimos de excursión a Río Grande, cerca de Pizarra, el nombre no hace honor al tamaño del río. Year 6 disfrutó mucho y conectaron con lo que han estado estudiando en Ciencias con Geografía y Matemáticas. Midieron la velocidad del caudal, la anchura y la profundidad del río en tres secciones diferentes a lo largo del río. Registraron los datos en sus cuadernos y podrán compararlos con los nuevos datos que volveremos a recoger en la próxima excursión que vamos a realizar al mismo lugar en diciembre. Year 6 se comportó maravillosamente y trabajaron realmente bien en equipo.

The local river in Cártama was too smelly and the rubbish therein would have spoilt our trip so we went to the Rio Grande near Pizarra instead. The name does not quite suit the actual river in its present state! However, Year 6 enjoyed combining what they had been studying in Science with Geography and Maths. Students measured the speed of the flow, the width and the depth of the river in three different sections along its length. They recorded their findings on data collection sheets and will hopefully compare the information with more data from a planned trip to the same place in December. Year 6 students were wonderfully behaved and worked really well in teams.
