Once in the valley, the children measured the river's velocity using a very technical piece of equipment - a rubber duck named Jeffery.
After, the children collected samples from the water and identified various creatures using a tree diagram and key. Some groups found water nymphs, some found flies, one group even found a fish!
It was another glorious day. The sun shone all day and many of us are looking "sun-kissed".
The group then learnt an important science lesson - What goes down, must go up! The pleasurable walk down the valley turned into a mountain trek back up to the minibus. It was so steep, it could be called "character building". It could also be called "A calf screaming, heart pounding hell climb".
This evenings meal was lasagne, salad and garlic bread. It was followed by apple crumble and custard. It was very popular and many had seconds and thirds.
