As part of our rivers topic, the Year Fives went on a very exciting visit to the River Ober. We looked at two different sites along the river, and made comparisons about what we found.
We measured the River Ober at different points to compare the width.
We also measured the depth of the river, to see which parts were deepest.
We had a chance to explore the environment, to identify which plants and minibeasts we found in the different habitats.
We had lots of fun playing pooh sticks, to measure the flow of the river.
It was a lovely day, and we were very lucky with the weather! If you would like to visit this part of the Ober water, it's only a short walk from Whitefield Moor carpark, which is just past Rhinefield House (near Lyndhurst) - it's the perfect spot for a summer picnic and a paddle.
Here is a link to the walk we did. Enjoy!
