As part of our Creative Curriculum Year 3 & 4 were lucky enough to be visited by the Harbour Master. He talked at length about his job and took the time to answer many questions. In addition he recreated the Port of Tyne Harbour with the children taking on many roles including ships, lighthouses and piers.
Our special thanks go to Mr. Nicholson for his time
As part of their Creative Curriculum Topic Year 3 visited Ouseburn Valley in Newcastle. Below are some of the activities that they completed.
It rained but that did not dampen our spirits!!!
We made a model of the river using rope and photographs.
We looked at some of the bridges to give us ideas because we will be building our own bridges back at school.
Some of the sights along the way.
Then we conducted some tests on river water from the Ouseburn to check its pH balance.
Not bad but i still wouldn't drink it.
And that's time to go home, wet but happy and a good day had by all.
