River Scramble
Geography: Rivers
Pupils will learn how the water cycle process works, the different types of river features, and the effects of erosion.
Science: Living Things
The group will learn to recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago.
They will learn to identify how animals and plants have adapted to suit their environment in different ways, and that adaptation may lead to evolution.
Canoeing
Geography: Water Cycle
Students will see the water cycle in action. They can discuss how water moves around the world and ultimately ends up where they are. Other aspects can also be discussed such as where drinking water comes from and it is processed.
History
Students can learn all about the history of canoes – where they came from, what they were used for, and by who.
Seashore Explore
Science: Living things and their environment
On the seashore students will explore the environment using classification keys to identify a range of living creatures, their characteristics, and ways they can be grouped with others. The concept that the environment can change and how, at times, this can pose danger to these creatures will be introduced and discussed.
Science: Rocks
Types of rocks will be introduced, their characteristics explored, comparisons made, and types grouped together. Eroded matter will be investigated to understand what sands and soils are made of.
Students will discover fossils and learn what these once were and how they came to be fossils.
History: Vikings
Students will be introduced to the local history of the coast and the impact Vikings have had – such as: place names, how they got here, and time scales.

Learning Outcomes

Students will learn the importance of respecting each individual’s abilities and understand how their actions and manner of communication can have an effect on each other’s feelings.
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Students will go on a real adventure in real environments where they will be immersed in the North York Moors National Park and learn all about the natural world around them, what it can offer them, and how important it is that we care for it.
