S3 River Fieldtrip

3GEC1 remember your fieldtrip to the Dee is tomorrow. The forcast for tomorrow predicts light rain showers http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/24hr.shtml?world=0014.

Bearing this in mind please remember to bring a waterproof jacket and sensible shoes for walking on pavements. If you get cold easily then maybe a pair of gloves or a hat would be a good idea. You will be standing in the one position for around 10 minutes. Below is only one view of the river valley that you may want to use.

S3 - 3H

You thought you were getting away with it ....didn't you! It is now Mrs Stevensons other classes turn (3H) to do the OS Map Homework.

Remember to read the questions properly and I don't want to hear about bridges, roads or golf courses when describing the PHYSICAL course of the river. Remember when doing this last question to mention, the direction of flow, width of the river (use a ruler!)any tributaries (their names and confluence points), any major features (be specific with a 6 figure Grid Reference).

Your homework is due in on TUESDAY the 25th of Septmeber.
