Bowling festival

After a couple of bowling practice sessions at school we had a successful trip to the Bowling Festival with some of our class members in the winning and runner-up teams. 


It was nice to be in mixed teams with children from other schools.


We had to be patient and listen carefully to the information about how the games were organised and where our team would be playing and when.


We were playing on an artificial surface like a carpet and had to follow the rules about looking after it.


By the end of the festival some of the teams were getting quite skilled and competitive.
It was a great morning out of school finding out about another activity in our community.

An outdoor day

Planning the structure.

Thinking about joins and stability.

How to make the cross piece?

When it works it looks good too!

Can everyone get in and can you close the entrance?

Thinking about how the wind direction affects the tarps.

How to keep space under the tarps.


In at last!

Tying knots and the magic knot trick!
