A Journey Around Austrey School Young Geographers Project WELLIES ON WEDNESDAYS!
We can see a little red boat. It went past mountains, a water fall, grass, sticky mud, a pond and stones in the river. Having talked about the environmental features in this fictional text the children in reception took a journey around the school. It went in the estuary to meet the sea.
