Maps and Rivers

Today we studied OS maps and the rivers that run through our area. S had picked a beer can from the river Wey in Farnham Gostrey Meadow park a few weeks ago and today we studied the river on maps and learning it is a tributary to the river Thames and that there is a North and South branch of the river Wey, a source of which is a spring in Alton for the north side. The South branch coming from Haslemere. Both branches meet at Tilford and then joins the river Thames at Weybridge going through London to the Thames Estuary and then out to the North sea. We also looked at a local stream which is a tributary to the river Wey which starts at Alice Holt Forest and joins the river Wey at Moor Park. We then looked at the river Thames and followed its course from Gloucestershire to London. S drew a map of the river Thames with the river Wey joining it and I drew the river Wey and the stream which joins it.
