The fifth Personal Learning and Thinking Skills Day was held at Driffield School for year seven students.
On Friday 19 April the students completed a day of themed events examining the early footage of man’s first attempts at flight before creating mobiles and kites to test ideas behind flight.
The day was run and organised by the Design Technology and Science departments and focused on how science can aid the design process and how design can be inspired by nature.
Students started off the day with an inspirational opportunity to come face to face with birds from Park Rose Birds of Prey and Animal Park, Bridlington.
A visiting demonstrator brought a Barn Owl and Indian Eagle Owl and Harris Hawk into the assembly to surprise the students before taking the students outside for the birds to do a flight display and perform some tricks including flying through a tunnel of students.
Students and staff thoroughly enjoyed the day and really appreciated the opportunity to come face to face with these amazing birds.
