We were delighted to have the Canal River Trust visit us. They explained how canals were built and helped us build a model of a canal. They also did a water safety quiz to help stay safe around the canal.
We designed our own canal-art plates. Then we made them out of clay and painted our designs on. They look great - but don't put them in the dishwasher!

Science Investigation
In science, we carried out an investigation to see which materials are waterproof. This was linked to our learning on one of Julia Jarman's stories called the Big Red Bath. We predicted and then had a discussion about how we should carry out the investigation. We decided to hold up the materials, pour water onto them and see if water dripped through. We then decided that we needed to keep this a fair test so we measured out a quarter of a cup to pour n the materials.
