Rivers: From Source to Sea
During this project children explore the characteristics and features of rivers and mountain ranges around the world. They explore how rivers and mountains are formed and investigate the natural processes that shape them and the surrounding landscape over time. Children also examine the ecosystems, habitats and wildlife associated with these environments and use geographical knowledge and skills to explore significant rivers and mountain ranges in different parts of the world.
