Year 6 Get To Grips With Water

 

At the start of October all of Year 6 visited Ashford Reservoir near Cannington to learn how the water gets from our rivers to our taps.

 

We had a tour of the reservoir and the factory where the water is treated to make it safe for us to drink.

 

In the school room we tested samples of water to determine their pH levels and nitrate content.

 

Outside we actually got in the river and measured the depth and width of the river to enable us to draw a cross section back in school.

 

6SB and 6AF both presented class assemblies based on the trip to Ashford Reservoir.
