Today in Geography, our brilliant Year 4 pupils took part in an exciting and immersive lesson exploring rivers across the UK – with the help of Digimap for Schools.
Using Chromebooks, the children learned how to navigate digital maps, zooming in and out, adding layers, and pinpointing key features of rivers from their source to their mouth. Working in pairs and small groups, they explored major rivers such as the Thames, Severn, and Trent, identifying tributaries, meanders, and estuaries along the way.
The lesson built on pupils' digital skills, as they learned how to use interactive tools to annotate maps and locate landmarks.
We were especially impressed by the curiosity and collaboration shown throughout the session. Pupils asked thoughtful questions like "Why do most rivers flow to the sea?" and "What happens when two rivers meet?" – sparking some wonderful class discussions.
One highlight was watching pupils trace the journey of a river from its source in the hills all the way to the sea, realising just how much ground it covers – and how it connects places, people and ecosystems.
We’re so proud of how confidently our pupils used Digimap and can't wait to explore more geographical topics using this powerful tool.
