Secure your children’s understanding of shapes and symmetry. We will teach and reinforce their knowledge about castles whilst also ticking off some D&T objectives!
Our outdoor workshop will develop your children’s teamwork and communication skills and allow them to experience the use of simple tools.
The children will then work as a whole class team to create a large scale ‘stick castle’, made from bamboo. This will incorporate their problem-solving skills with their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. The use of elastic bands to secure the bamboo structure is excellent for supporting the development of fine-motor skills!
Once we have built our large-scale, class castle, the children will learn about coats of arms and how flags were used to identify who resided inside. The children will then create symmetrical flags to adorn their magnificent structure.These will be made using natural materials, hammered against a cloth to create imprints. And of course the children get to take each of their indivdual flags home!
How long does the outdoor workshop last?
For 1 class and 2 class bookings the workshop is 2 hours per class.
