Its been a while since I last posted an update, but I am back! Thanks to all the parents who wondered why everything was so quiet..I am so glad you noticed!
For water week Gill and I decided to focus on water filtration as we had discussed the importance of a healthy environment particularly water whilst we did our mini theme on frogs.
Each child brought a coke bottle to school, which we cut into 2 parts. We explained the process of filtering water using materials such as sand, pebbles and then slightly bigger stones. Then it was their turn to make their own.

Once we had made our filters we headed to Bot Gardens to find some murky water to filter. Everyone was excited to see if theirs was going to work. As expected some did and others...well, added to the dirty water, rather than cleaned it!

The children had lots of fun while learning a valuable lesson about biodiversity..especially as water supplies diminish.
