I had so many lovely plans for our rivers topic, and I was so looking forward to our trip. However have a look at this link to the South Downs National Park's Facebook page.

You can go on a virtual walk along the river Rother .

How many small plants or trees do you recognise?

What kind of animals do you think would make their homes in this habitat?

What do you think that this river would be like in the summer time?

Could you go for a walk with your family near a river like this one and see wheat is similar or different? (Only go out with your family, if it is safe to do so and none of you are poorly.)

Why not pause this video and draw or paint part of it and send us a photo of your work?

Or even better label it with some of the geographical features we identified. Can you remember the upper, middle and lower course? What about words like source, tributary, confluence, meander, waterfall, delta, mouth, estuary, flood plain, ox-bow lake?
