Year 9 River Fieldwork Adventure: From Oozy Source to Mouth

Year 9 River Fieldwork Adventure: From Oozy Source to Mouth

Our Year 9 students recently embarked on an unforgettable geography fieldwork trip to Lynmouth, where they explored the full journey of a river – from its oozy upland source to its dramatic mouth at the coast. This hands-on experience brought classroom learning to life, allowing students to observe river features, measure flow rates, and understand erosion and deposition in real time. This enriching opportunity is a key part of our geography curriculum, helping students develop fieldwork skills, deepen their understanding of physical processes, and appreciate the dynamic nature of our landscapes. It also supports cross-curricular learning, including data analysis in maths and environmental awareness in science.

A huge thank you to Noah Cook for capturing the spirit of the day through his fantastic photography, which showcases the natural beauty of Lynmouth. We’re proud of how our students engaged with the experience and look forward to more adventures that connect learning with the world around us
