Wideford adventure

Last month we tested our fitness and stamina by climbing to the top of Wideford Hill. We noted the effect of strenuous activity on our bodies. The climb was made more challenging because it was a very windy day! Everyone made it to the top and we found the heather to be very comfortable resting material! 

Getting ready for the tough bit.

Looking back

The highest point - finding shelter!

Using the compass to find out where the different islands are.

It was a great place to play hide and seek.

A hazy view!

The other side.

More body fun!

When we were studying muscles and bones we made articulated hands. Using straws and string we actually managed to make the fingers move on our models!
The straws were cut into sections to make the different joints on our fingers.

In art we painted our own pictures in the style of Keith Haring using bright colours and simple shapes for bodies. The results are very vibrant and active.
