Year 4 set off today on our geography field trip to Portland Basin to discover the waterways. The children explored the differences between the River Tame and the Ashton canal and were fascinated to learn about the use of the canal and spot the differences between the two.  In the afternoon, the class took on a group challenge to design and make a waterwheel.

Year 4 have been of learning about the water cycle in English and have written an explanation that details how the water cycle works. To back up this knowledge, they completed an experiment in science. Here they had to see whether temperature affects the speed at which a cloth dries. They ensured their test was fair by using the same towel material and the same amount of water and only changed the place where the towel was kept. The whole class predicted that the warmest place would evaporate the water the quickest.
