Ship building 10.6.16

Year 6 had an amazing day today.  We were visited by Hugh, Warwick, Polly, Anna and Oana, from Bristol Loves Tides, who ran a Young Shipwrights (ship builders) workshop.
Across the day year 6 worked in groups to build a model of the Mathew (as sailed by John Cabot and the boat which is the emblem of our school).  Some parts were very fiddly so we had work well in teams in order to carefully construct our ships.
Later this term (on the 16th July) the finished products will be sailed - along side another 90-odd boats - in Bristol harbour as part of the Harbour Festival 2016.  We hope that all Year 6 pupils and their families will be there to see the boats sail.
