Exploring Rivers 🌍🌊 #BeAnAdventurer

Date: 23rd Jan 2026 @ 10:33pm

This half term, Year 5 have been eager to deepen their understanding of rivers and how they shape our world.

We began our learning by exploring the water cycle, discussing how water is constantly moving through evaporation, condensation and precipitation. The children then created their own labelled diagrams, showing their understanding of how water travels around our planet in a continuous cycle.

Next, we moved on to learning about the process of a river. We explored how rivers begin at their source, travel through the upper, middle and lower course, and eventually reach the mouth. 

We are really proud of the enthusiasm Year 5 have shown in geography and look forward to continuing our exciting river journey over the coming weeks!
