# Rainwater Challenge

  ![Image of Rainwater Challenge](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/blog/DSC01151.JPG)  17 October 2016   [Class of 2012](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/category/class-of-2012)

We have all enjoyed designing and making a rainwater harvester to try and catch as much rain as possible.

This was after we learned in our RE lesson about the importance of water, and how and why some people in parts of Africa harvest their rainwater.

Year 4 really enjoyed this challenge. There had to be a few alterations made to the final products to make sure they weren't blown over when left outside. We will be looking at them again after a bit more rain has fallen!

 We can't wait to see who wins the challenge.
