Cross Fell's Learning

What a great morning we had at the wetlands. After all of the rain the wetlands lived up to their name and with the river level continuing to rise we couldn’t do pond dipping this time but we had great fun on our scavenger hunts and woodland exploring. Well done everyone and a huge thankyou to the…

Cross Fell are really excited to be embarking on their latest DT project- designing and making a sunglasses case.

Linked to our seasides topic we were challenged to make a sunglasses case that we can use to keep our sunglasses safe when we are out and about in the Summer.

We started our project by looking at the products that were already available thinking about their good and bad points before designing our own version. We spent time looking at how we could join different fabric before learning how to sew a running stitch on some scraps of fabric. Once we had honed our skills we started to make our creations. We are now up to the sewing stage with embellishment and evaluation coming next. We can’t wait to share our finished creations with you!

We went on a trip with Action Ants where we participated in an obstacle course, a low ropes adventure course, archery and cross bows, golf, and dodgeball. We had to work together in teams and find strategies to achieve activities.

Our Action Ants trips inspire us to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities.  We take part in our Action Ants festivals regularly throughout the year which gives us…
