Our Year 11 GCSE students spent a great day at Magilligan Field Centre gathering data for their Unit 3 exam. Many thanks to Michael and the team @FieldCentre and well done to the boys for braving the cold and really getting stuck in 💪🌍

10E went outdoors to learn how water moves around a meander bend. Key learning points included faster flow on the outside of the bend causing erosion and the formation of a "river cliff". Slow flow on the inside of the bend led to deposition and the formation of a "slip-off slope

Many thanks to JP and his staff for hosting our Year 11 boys yesterday, they really enjoyed the visit. Here are a few more photos from the morning. @BGHDerry @StJosephsDerry
