Year 6 were given the question ‘What can Liverpool’s Buildings tell us about the city’s links with the British Empire?
To support their learning in school, Year 6 visted Liverpool Cathedral. The day included: learning about Noel Chavasse, the double Victoria Cross recipient whose father was Bishop of Liverpool, and hearing about his fight to save soldiers’ lives during WW1; learning about the cathedral’s stained-glass windows and making one based on the Laymen’s window; and finally a guided tour of the cathedral.
Jo Hodge from Digital Schoolhouse worked with each Year 6 class to teach them about repetition and count-controlled loops. They created repeating patterns on Scratch first, then wrote similar more complex codes in TurtleStitch to create patterns that were then sewn onto cloth.
