Well the answer is in plain sight.Year 3 went to visit the 'brook' that meanders from Cheshire Oaks, past our school, through Rivacre Valley as it journeys on to the River Mersey. The brook is on the first available map of 1845, however everywhere else was fields. My how things have changed! We also had time to fit in a game of Pooh Sticks.
