Year 5: Trip to Sarehole Mill and the River Cole


 

On Tuesday, as part of our rivers topic, Year 5 enjoyed a trip to Sarehole Mill.  Although the weather didn’t look promising in the morning, it turned out to be a brilliant day!  The children had the opportunity to investigate the Mill to see how the water from the river powered it and helped produce flour.  All were excited to find out how this place played a significant part in the writing of Lord of the Rings!  Also, later in the day, Jan worked with the classes to discuss the importance of water and the different parts of the river.  At some point in the day, all of the children were able to get their hands dirty by climbing into the river and using nets to identify insects that lived there.
