Discuss why this was a good setting for Swallows and Amazons. Why is this island in the lake? How could this stream move this tree? Why do the rocks near the water have no vegetation? Looking on the stream bed – what is it made up of? How and when does sediment move? This links to our work on rivers in year 6.
