Heritage Day!

Date: 9th Jul 2021 @ 7:55pm

Today we became historians and celebrated Heritage Day! We we're looking forward to finding more about our local area and the history of Stanley Park.

We began the day by creating some observational drawings of the early Blackpool Illuminations and discussing how these have changed over time. We watched a video which showed us how the  illuminations have developed into what we know today!

We then took part in a virtual tour of Stanley Park, whilst completing a timeline and answering lots of questions about different aspects of the park. 

We then created our very own illumination! We watched a video of the illuminations through recent years and collected lots of ideas and thoughts about what our own illumination may need to include. We all had lots of brilliant ideas for our new illuminations, ranging from Sonic The Hedgehog, to Ben 10, to a Winter Snow Scene to Elsa and Anna from Frozen!

We thought about what colours we wanted the bulbs to be, how they were going to flash and how different parts of the design may move!
