The students were taught many fieldwork techniques such as: measuring velocity, river discharge and wetted perimeter. The students had to stand in the river to get their measurements which many were reluctant to do at first! This trip will ensure they have a thorough understanding so they are prepared for their exams next year – Well done year 10! ![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/209a.jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/209b.jpg)![](https://riverside-secondary.com/images/209c.jpg) [ Riverside Sports Day](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2017-07-05-riverside-sports-day) [BMX ](https://riverside-secondary.com/news/2017-07-11-bmx) ![Riverside Secondary School](https://files.schudio.com/riverside-secondary-school/images/logo/Logo_Footer.png) ### Riverside Secondary School Renwick Road Barking IG11 0FU 0203 946 5888 ### Social Media - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/riverside_campus/) [![Partnership Learning](https://files.schudio.com/riverside-secondary-school/images/logo/AAAPartnership-Learning_white.png)](https://partnershiplearning.com) © Copyright 2026 Riverside Secondary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://riverside-secondary.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
