Class N theme day

On Friday class N went on a theme day at the park with lots of other schools. We went to Mersey Vale park and Heaton Mersey park to do lots of activities. First we listened to people talking about cutting wood in the past. They showed us how to cut wood with old machines. Next we went to the Heaton Mersey park to do some maypole dancing. We had to hold a strip of material which was a certain colour and started to plait it. Then we did the same but the other way to unplait it. We then had to go back to the Mersey Vale park to do some pond dipping. When we got there we got put into two groups and the first group did the pond dipping part and some people caught tadpoles and newts! Then the next thing was getting bugs out from a tray of water and putting them in containers to look at their skeleton with the microscope looking at it on the TV. We also did some willow weaving. Finally we did an art activity which involved drawing on a piece of polystyrene and then covering it with black paint and printing it on paper and material.
