Year 2 Visit to Batchworth Lock Canal Centre - May 2007
Sycamore and Willow classes visited the Batchworth Lock Canal centre. The canal centre is run by volunteers, who were on hand to show and explain about life on the canal in the past.
A big thank you to the parents who gave up their time to come with us.
Travelling up the canal - and remembering about safety by wearing a life jacket.
Learning about life on the canal in the days of Queen Victoria.
Using models to explore how bridges are made - and don't fall down! The children all had the chance to dress up in Victorian clothes too.

Learning how to open a lock was great fun - but hard work! The children had to work as a group.
