River Walk
We had a great morning for our walk along the River Derwent as part of our Topic work. We identified different river features, saw it being used in different ways and spotted some local wildlife. Unfortunately, we were unable to go for a paddle this year. The area was fenced off but a geologist came and explained to use that they were doing some work to install a type of big screw (?) in the river to use the power for the city of Derby. There were archaeologists there too, who were unearthing relics from the past. Very interesting - but disappointing as we couldn't have a paddle. We just spent some time at the park instead!
