Weather

Cripes what crazy weather we are having at the moment. Lots of rain and now snow threatening. So what are we doing in the classroom to stop us all from going crazy? Lots of discussions and explorations around weather.

Our question was: 'Where does the all this rain go?' We feel the rain goes down the drain, through the pipes and out to sea. Which is quite a distance to go for all the water as we are a reasonable distance from the sea. We have had some surface flooding out here but it hasn't been as bad as other areas around us. We have talked about how the ground acts likes a sponge and how it is rather full at the moment which is why the rain is sitting on top of the grass rather than soaking in like it normally does.
