walk along the Worcester canal with Primary 2

The pupils showed an interest in walking along the Worcester canal as they talked about what sight they could see such as "look there are ducks swimming". Before we started to walk the teacher asked how many boat the pupils thought there would be at the harbor. The highest number the pupils identified was "19" and the lowest number was "2". As we got halfway along the canal the pupils saw a boat and stopped to look and talk about the size. One pupil said "wow look how big it is". 

A man helping the boat travel spoke to the pupils about where they had travelled before and where they were going next. They also asked the pupils if they would like to have a go at opening the gate for the boat by pushing the lever. The pupils enjoyed working together as a group to use all of their strengths to push the lever all the way to the edge of the canal. 

After we had walked all along the canal to reach the harbor we looked at the boats and concluded that there was about 50 or more altogether. Walking past the boats to the end of the path we saw a big field which led to a park. The pupils enjoyed exploring the various equipment's and obstacle courses.
