What's Involved
Timings: Full day facilitated workshop (approx 10am-2:30pm)
Venue: Portland Basin Museum
Costs: £222 for TMBC schools / £244 for non-TMBC schools
Investigate, record and see first-hand some of the differences between canals and rivers on a short waterside walk from Portland Basin wharf. Pupils can find their feet with fieldwork, observe Tameside’s human geography, and do some detective work to discover how our rivers and canals were used in the past. Can your team conquer our ‘construct a waterwheel’ challenge?
