The pupils enjoyed walking along the canal talking about the environment as one pupil pointed to a big tree which was hanging over the canal and asked "what tree is that". We discussed that it was a willow tree. The pupils also showed an interest in looking to see if they could find any boats floating along the canal. The pupils walked together as a group as they communicated between one another if they thought there would be any boats docked at the end of the canal and how many there would be. One pupil said "I think 20" when another expressed "I think 50". We discussed which boat was their favourite with one pupil saying "I like the blue boat" when another explained that "the one with wood on it is my favourite because it looks old looking". One of the pupils showed an interest in finding fishes swimming in the water. At the end of the walk the pupils enjoyed exploring the park as they worked in pairs and teams to see how fast they could spin around in a tea cup or merry go round, demonstrated teamwork to see how high they could go on the see saw as well as beginning to identify which of their peers weighed heavier than each other. The pupils also enjoyed playing a game of tag.
