We had an excellent day where Year 8 pupils learnt about Henry VIII’s favourite ship the Mary Rose. The museum had a new 4D cinema style attraction which showed how the divers discovered the ship on the seabed and how it was salvaged back in 1982. We had time for a boat trip around Portsmouth Harbour and due to the glorious weather, pupils had stunning views on the south coast from the top of the Spinnaker Tower. Bruce Combie
This week Year 8 have been planning out their Softwood Box project. They have been marking the sides ready for sawing and being as accurate as they could be! James Murray
Year 8 created some large scale automatic drawings as they listened to music, then had fun drawing portraits of their classmates whilst not looking at their paper! These amusing exercises are great ways to be spontaneous and not to take drawing too seriously. Tom Johnson
🔴 WWII History Day 🔵
Year 4 stepped out of the classroom today to dive deeper into WWII history with the brilliant @handsonhistoryuk.
The children - and teachers - had the chance to dress in the real uniforms of a Royal Navy Signaller, a soldier, an RAF pilot, and evacuees. They explored the development of gas masks and the equipment used by soldiers, learning just how tough life was during the war.
After making their own gas masks they learned morse code and semaphore. They even handled deactivated firearms from the battlefield - amazed by how heavy they were.
The final part of the day saw the children practicing their WW11 first aid techniques, using the same instructions given to soldiers for bandaging different injuries.
It’s been a great day for bringing history to life!
