This week we learned that 70% of the world is water.  97%  of that water is salty, 2% of that water is frozan and only 1% of that water is available for us to use.  This water is called freshwater and we find it in the streams, rivers, lakes and ponds.  The salty water is in the oceans and the seas.  We talked about all the ways we use water.  The world doesn’t get any new water it is the same water going round all the time.  Here is a fascinating fact ‘We are drinking the same water that dinosaurs drank thousands of years ago’.

We made new water topic books and we will be working in them over the next few weeks.
