CHILDREN from Sledmere Primary School took part in a series of maritime-themed workshops as they studied the area’s historic link with the Titanic.

The Year 2 children attended the sessions at The Savoy Centre in Netherton, and as well as getting the opportunity to examine the replica Titanic anchor, the youngsters were also able to take part in a series of hands on collage and crafts workshops run by Artspace.

Teacher Gemma Parsons, said: “The children had a superb day at the Savoy Centre. This term we have been studying transport so it was extremely useful to see the replica anchor, a landmark within our own community. We also had lunch at Northfield Primary School which enabled the children to experience a different school environment.”
