Today, we were delighted to welcome Ady Royston from the Canal & River Trust, who visited Year 3 and also delivered an informative whole‑school assembly.
During his time with Year 3, Ady helped pupils explore the fascinating journey of a river, from source to estuary. The children learned about the key features of rivers and discussed the many ways rivers have been used throughout history, including for defence, food, and clothing. Ady also explained the water cycle, helping pupils develop their understanding of how water moves through our world.
In the whole‑school assembly, Ady focused on the very important topic of water safety. He spoke to the children about the dangers around water, how to stay safe, what to do if you fall into water, and the correct actions to take if you see someone else in difficulty. The session gave pupils practical, memorable advice that could help keep them safe in real‑life situations.
We would like to thank Ady and the Canal & River Trust for an engaging and valuable visit that supported both our geography learning and our commitment to keeping children safe.
