Yesterday we continued our hook into celebrated local hero Sir Harry Burrard-Neale by making replicas of his monument and alternative designs dedicated to our own 'heroes'. Make sure you take a good look at the children's completed models when we display them at the picnic next Friday.
Today we concluded our amazing week of special activities in partnership with The Friends of Burrard Neale by meeting Captain Morgan for a question and answer session and artifact handling..
We were able to hold a range of different items from naval history (brought from HMS Victory at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard and gets hands of with real parts of British history.
Captain Hardy was on hand to talk us through each of the items and was happy to show us how they would have been used.
After we had learnt about life on board a naval ship we put on the hats we made on Wednesday and learnt how to salute the captain. We even practiced marching around the playground. Everybody agreed that life in the navy would have been very tough!
