Year 4 we walked down to Matlock Park to have a look at the River Derwent as part of our rivers' topic.  We looked at the recent flood defences on the bridge and were amazed by how high the river has been in the past. We identified the flood plain, the tributary of the Bentley Brook, a meander, and we had a go at pooh sticks. 

Year 4 have written some really fabulous poems inspired by the mindful moment by the river on their river trip.
