Oak Class had a wonderful time this afternoon walking along the riverbank. They measured the speed of flow at various locations, created field sketches and looked at wildlife. We saw a muntjac deer, a rat and loads of ducks with their babies. They also took note of how visitors use the river walk and were impressed by the number of people who were out and about. They particularly enjoyed watching the model boats powering along in Wyndham Park.
