Today, Year 5 visited Dawlish Warren nature reserve in the beautiful spring sunshine. The Rangers there led us through two informative sessions where we found out about longshore drift, the history of the spit, how the area is maintained by the Environment Agency, the flora and fauna in the region as well as its vulnerability. On the beach, we were given a challenge of building a sandcastle and then creating a man made sea defence. We had lots of fun and our defences withstood at least one powerful wave.
We finished off with lunch on the beach and all decided that we live in a great place.
