The John Rae Sea Chest
Read our comments below about what was in the sea chest and what we learned. Here is Katy's comment:
I really enjoyed getting dressed up. We put on a stripey coat made from a Hudson's Bay
Company 6point blanket, a pair of warm shoes made of animal skin and a woven belt like the voyageurs used.I also got to hold a real beaver skin which felt smooth and soft but also quite upsetting to think that it had been a real beaver. After when we got to take off the outfit it felt way better because we were way too hot. I learned that they used to kill lots of animals to make warm clothes. |

Making spills and structures
Our first P6 challenge has been to make spills and use them to create a stable structure, with good joins as tall as we could make it within a limited time.
This involved good teamwork and organisation, good communication and use of resources.
We agreed that it was about design and technology, science(materials), craft and maybe art too.
The skills we needed for group work were also important.
And it was good fun too!
