1st Aston Clinton Guides. Last week our theme was 'water' - something we all take for granted. We talked about how women and children in the Third World spend up to six hours every day carrying water. We thought about how much water we use in a day, and how we would save it if we had to carry it ourselves.

We then had a relay race transferring water from one bucket to another using various containers, including a sandwich bag and a balloon! We finished by making a water clock and tested the teams to see which clock most accurately timed five minutes. One team got to within six seconds which was pretty accurate considering the crude building materials they were given.
