The weather was perfect as Year Four traced the footsteps of the famous North East entrpreneur and inventor, William Armstrong. This year we have been learning about water and inventions in our themed topic lessons. Cragside House and Gardens were the perfect place to visit, where we learned about how Amstrong used water power to run his many inventions and how hydroelectricity was first used here to provide lighting for the house.
Of course, our teachers made us trek for miles before we were rewarded with time on the adventure playground!
The guides commented on how well-behaved the children were, and were impressed by many of the questions they were asked.
A great day out for children and staff alike!
