Exciting Erosion!

Hedgehogs have loved learning about our new topic in Geography and have spent lots of lessons exploring the coastline. This week, it got super exciting in our classroom as we looked at erosion and how it affects our beaches. We made our very own erosion happen and set up an experiment to see it happening in real life. First of all we used sand, water and building blocks to make this happen where we observed erosion and buildings (the blocks) being destroyed easily. Then, Year Two learnt about sea walls and how this can help protect our coastline. So we then tried the experiment again but this time used rocks to create a seawall. It was such an exciting afternoon!!!
