Yesterday we were fortunate enough to visit the Tall Ships Sunderland 2018 at the St Peter's University site. The first part of the day was spent engaging in workshops. During one of the workshops we got to sketch our own design of the Tall Ships on a piece of Styrofoam which we then painted on top of before stamping it onto a piece of paper. During this activity we worked with a photography student from the university. During the second activity we created either a poster, front cover of an article or a leaflet about the Tall Ships. This was linked to the Media Hub in the university who are going to compile our ideas and create a newspaper which they will send over during the summer.
During the afternoon we were able to watch a selection of performances from other schools on the main stage; it was very exciting to see! We also spent time looking at the Tall Ships which had docked and we were lucky enough to see one coming into the port with its sails up. We visited the Maritime Museum tent where 'The Sunderland Maritime Heritage' were there with their famous model boat - the 'HMS Venerable'.
We had a fantastic day and we would recommend everyone to visit!
PS - check out the Sunderland Echo where we have a fantastic class photo displayed!
