Rain
May 2, 2008 by David Stott
Lets start with a rhetorical question. Why does it always rain when you least want it to? I shall leave it as rhetorical since the discussion an get very long winded if you leave it open especially involving weather patterns, God, Murphy’s Law and all of that.
Whilst I was out on teaching rounds, one of the first things that we did as a class was to create rain gauges. This bought in a whole range of skills and knowledge and fitted well into their new topic of Water. For the next three weeks it basically refused to rain at al which meant we could not do any of the follow up activities. Now that I have finished placement it has rained quite heavily twice in two days. Today was only supposed to be cloudy and thats what it looked like until it just started pouring down and well with how cold it is the hail that fell totally covered the ground. It ended up making my car look white instead of blue. Why couldn’t this have happened when I was out on rounds? It would have made the topic a little bit easier to teach if we had actually had some water come from the sky.
Later on ill even add photos so you can see our wonderful whiteness that wasn’t snow (pity.)
