Castle Creations!

 in Class Three / Design and Technology by

Class 3 have had a fantastic time creating their own castles. We started the topic by looking at different examples of castle and identifying their features. Our trip to Sizergh Castle was an amazing start to this. We experimented with making 3-D shapes from nets to see how we may use these in our own work. We then drew up some design criteria such as having battlements, a drawbridge and a personalised flag. We then made our creating using junk modelling and also making shapes from nets.  They were all amazing and very individual.

 

Water Safety on our Lakes

 in PE / SCARF / Whole School by

Years 5 + 6 enjoyed a wonderful day at Fellfoot with Jaqui from Waterwise, teaching us how to be safe when we are out having fun in the outdoors whether that be in the sea, in lakes or rivers.  As well as teaching us all about the dangers of open water, she also provided us with lots of useful advice about how to reduce risk of harm by the decisions we make, what we wear and how we react in different scenarios.   Then we all got into Lake Windermere to put our skills to the test.

During the day we also enjoyed orienteering, a trip to the park, a few team games and a delightful picnic in the sunshine.
