Year 6 have been learning about rivers in geography. They have learned all about the positive and negative impacts a river can have to the environment, for industry and for wildlife and we have now applied this learning to look specifically at one of our local rivers: the River Tyne.

We conducted some research in pairs and then we have used this to help us start to create some informative posters.

Did you know that the River Tyne is the best river for salmon in England!

Also it is home to some of the most impressive bridges in the UK including the Tyne Bridge, the Swing Bridge and the Gateshead Millenium Bridge.
