Projects - Canals - 2011

We have been researching canal bridges using wow4water and have found four different types of bridges: Snake, Lift, Arched and Swing.

We have been learning about insects which could be found in the water and we used the information to make lovely pictures.

We had a lovely morning at the Falkirk Wheel on £rd October. We went on the Wheel first and learned a lot more about it. The guide didn’t know how many visitors had been on the wheel since it opened , so Aidan calculated it for him!

We had an interesting workshop with Lena who explained how canals were built.

We also got to open and close a swing bridge with Craig.

Here are some of the personal projects the children brought in. We had a mixture of models, written work and powerpoints.

Bats use echolocation to find food. We were pretending to be bats using echolocation to locate moths in our circle. It’s not very easy! We learned a song about echolocation and made up some great dances to go with it.
