Finding Traces of Rain.

We went for a walk around the school to see if we could see traces of the rain that had fallen recently. The girls took turns at taking the photos of what they found. We had very interesting conversations as they wondered why they could see wet patches in some places and right next to them it was dry. They were interested in how the places that were in the dark (shaded areas) were much wetter. 

‘Why could that be?‘ I asked. They talked about it being colder in some places
and then Kate pointed over to the dry wood further along and said;
‘Look the sun is shining on it.
That’s why it’s dry, the sun has dried it all up’. 

This observation lent a new direction to our future discoveries and conversations on our walk, as the girls kept spotting places where the sun was shining and where there was shade.

Also during our walk the girls wondered where the rain goes to and they started to talk about drains. They became very interested in all the different drains. They found - 33 drains of different 

sizes and styles.
