After weeks of sawing, drilling, whittling, and sanding we have finally got some of the Year 6 benches finished! We'll done for all your hard work. We will be using some of them in our outdoor classroom and might sell some, if they pass our rigorous safety testing.
Year 6 will be designing and making some seating for our outdoor classroom using wood from the school grounds over the next few weeks. We had an introduction using saws and drills to make scale models out of some scrap pallets.

| Using a hand drill to make hole for the legs. |
The Year 6 groups have been creating storyboards and acting out scenes from the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. This fits in with their work on A Midsummer Night's Dream as it is the play Bottom and the workers act out for the prince. We used scenes and props in the school grounds to bring the story to life.

| Pyramus and Thisbe speak through a crack in the wall. |

| Thisbe flees from the lion, dropping her veil. |
