Thomas was keen to explore the Roman Baths again today in town. After making another quick robot, we played with our neighbours. Thomas an freddy explored cars, sliding down into a big bucket of sand. They played long and hard, moving inside to build train track together. Finally at about 2pm we set off in the car for the |Roman Baths. We were excited to notice that the colour of the stone was orange, the same as our an area near our local stream. Thomas also wondered about the green colour of the Bath water. We asked two "Romans" about these two queries, and learned the iron deposits make the stones orange, and an algae makes the water green, but in the roman time the roof, which now doesn't exist, would keep the sun light out, and so algae wouldn't have grown.
We then spent time running on, sliding on, skidding on, and talking about the huge world map in Bath city centre.
