The Harbour Master Visits Year 3 & 4

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.

We looked at some of the bridges to give us ideas because we will be building our own bridges back at school.

Then we conducted some tests on river water from the Ouseburn to check its pH balance.
