Heritage in Schools

We were delighted to welcome Steffi Otto to our school this week as part of the Heritage In Schools Programme. We learned about the traditional skill of rope making and how important it was in the old days. We got to use traditional equipment that is over 100 years old when we made our own skipping ropes for using at break time!. We also got to play some games that children would have played in years gone by. In the afternoon, we learned about the skill of rush making and all the different items that can be made using rushes. We spent the rest of the afternoon making our own magic wands using rushes!

We also spent an afternoon last week collecting leaves from some of the variety of trees we are so lucky to have on our school grounds. We used these leaves to create lovely leaf rubbings in art class!
