The rain fell harder than it has all winter. We decided that we needed to brave it and go and have a look at the effects of the flooding.<\/p>\n
The rain had made huge puddles under the railway bridge. The children had a great time splashing in them and discussing their depth.<\/p>\n
We took a look at the river Medway. The river had swollen so much that it was only a couple of centimetres under the bridge. Some water had flooded onto the field. The children talked about how the river may rise overnight as it flow down off the fields.<\/p>\n
By the time we had returned to the bridge 20 minutes later the water had risen loads!<\/p>\n
The children showed the IMPACT of Forest School on their scientific questioning and use of maths language to describe the depth of the water and the length of the puddles.<\/p>\n
They also showed the impact of the Art curriculum lessons, by noticing the amazing patterns the flowing water and raindrops made as they fell in puddles.<\/p>\n
We returned to school and talked about what we had noticed this week. Then everyone had a go at writing<\/p>\n
At Forest School I…..<\/p>\n
What an amazing afternoon! Well done Cherry class for a wet weather adventure.<\/p>\n
