Water Water Water

Yesterday we did a bucket relay to experience what it would be like to have to collect and carry a bucket of water, just to have enough water for your family for one day. We realise there are alot of people around the world that have to do this to get their water
After doing this simulation, this was some responses from people in our class.
Maddy: " we realised it was tiring and your arms hurt carrying the buckets"
Anna: " We got a bit wet doing it. A bucket isn't alot for a whole days use."
Alicia: ' It was hard to balance the water, so that it didn't spill"
Sam:"They must work really hard to get something that we just get given."

Check out this slideshow about this activity, and tell us what you think it would be like!

    It must be really hard walking such a long way everyday for one bucket of water; when, we can just turn on a tap and get water. Anna

    This is so true, I can not imagine having to do this everyday! We are so lucky here in New Zealand where we have fresh clean water all around us! Miss B

    That was a really fun activity
    It must be hard for those people to have to do that every single day.
