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.
