For their House Day, Alan Titchmarsh house visited Bradford Industrial Museum. We took part in a 'Toy Detective' workshop where we had an opportunity to investigate - and play with! - many modern and past toys. We then worked in teams to sort the toys in different ways, including by what they were made from. Did you know some toys used to be made from animal bone? Later in the day, we took part in 'The Art of Science and Noticing' workshop. We were reminded of different drawing techniques like shading and smudging to help us represent objects more accurately. We then explored the museum with our clipboards, drawing details from objects that caught our individual eyes. At the end, we discussed what we noticed and cleverly organised our observations to create little but unique poems. Here is a picture of Ava reading one aloud - as loud as she could over the exciting noise of the mill's machinery in action!
