Year 6 Visit to Yorkshire Sculpture Park
On Monday 26th September, Year 6 went to Yorkshire Sculpture Park because of our topic which has involved learning about sculpture and the work of Antony Gormley. Our visit involved lots of walking and some of us had soggy feet by the end of the day. But the weather didn’t dampen our spirits and we had a great day out in the countryside.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park is filled with over 100 sculptures, with surprises around every corner. It is set in 500 acres, with forest land, a large lake in the centre and lots of wildlife. We were lucky enough on our visit to see a heron by the side of the lake.
We saw lots of sculptures on our walk around the park during the morning. There were lots of thoughtful discussions about the sculptures and we took lots of photos. In the afternoon, we chose one of our favourite sculptures to do some sketching of. One of our highlights was seeing a sculpture by Antony Gormley called ‘One and Other’.
All of Year 6 would definitely recommend a visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Check out their website and plan a visit: http://www.ysp.co.uk
