WE ARE GOING ON A BOAT
|
What is it called? It is called the Beatrice |
 |
|
What kind of Boat is Beatrice? It is a NARROW BOAT |
 |
|
What is it like inside? Beatrice has a toilet, a small kitchen for teachers, and big windows so you can see everything |
 |
|
Can we sit outside? If it's not raining there is a deck to sit on |
 |
|
Where does Beatrice go? It cruises on the Caldon Canal, which is very beautiful. Beatrice goes up and down the locks |
 |
|
What is a lock? Locks are like stairs, they are used to take boats up and down hills. You will go up 3 locks, and later you will come down them again. |
 |
|
What is it like in the locks? It's fun and very safe |
 |
|
Can we help with the locks? If your teacher says you can, yes. But you must wear a life jacket. |
 |
|
There are bridges to see |
|
|
and perhaps a tunnel |
 |
|
Will we see any birds? There are herons - and ducks |
  |
| and sometimes swans - and even kingfishers |
  |
|
We hope that you enjoy your trip on the Beatrice |
