A Fascinating Day Out!

On Friday, we went on an adventure! We went with the charity Thames Explorer, to investigate the foreshore of the River Thames at Bankside, in front of the Globe Theatre.

 We learned about how the quality of the water in the Thames has changed over time and did some experiments ourselves.

 Also, we had the opportunity to be 'mudlarks'! In the 18th and 19th centuries, some people (usually children) in London would scavenge in the river mud to look for anything they could sell. We had a chance at being mudlarks on Friday, during low tide.

After searching the river foreshore, we discovered all sorts of treasure! What was the most interesting thing you found?

Finally, we sorted the items we had discovered into groups and discussed what they might be and when they might be from.

A fascinating day! Huge thanks from everyone in St. Clare's to Miss Bower, Mrs Cook and Mr Gibson!
