Next half term we will be starting a new topic on rivers.
During half term I would like everybody in class 9 to find out an interesting fact about rivers and write it into a comment on this post. This way we will be able to share lots of information with each other. Hopefully we will gather 30 different facts to share. (Remember to include your initials with your comment.)
Your fact could be about a particular river - for example the length of a famous river or the country/ies it flows through. Alternatively, it could be general information about rivers - for example a particular feature of a river or where rivers begin and end.
Good luck class 9 and have a lovely week.
