Building the Matthew 7.2.17

This term year 6 are studying explorers and their link to Bristol's local history.  We have focused particularly on John Cabot and his voyage in 1497 when he made contact with Newfoundland, Canada.  As part of this topic, we were lucky enough to participate in a workshop where we worked in teams to build a model of the Matthew, Cabot's ship.  Once decorated, these boats will be raced as part of Bristol's Harbourside festival in July.
