The children enjoyed an engaging and hands-on trip to learn about the history of canals. They discovered how canals were formed, their importance for transporting goods, and learned about the famous engineer James Brindley.
A highlight of the day was taking part in practical activities, including loading cargo onto canal boats and using weighing equipment to see how goods were measured and transported.
The children then enjoyed a boat trip along the Birmingham canals, giving them the opportunity to experience canal travel first-hand. It was a fantastic learning experience that brought history to life.
