Introduction.

William de Ferrers School held a two-day, off-timetable,
project based on the 'senses', in October 2008.

Students in years 7 to 13 from Art, Dance and Drama
were invited to participate, as were 'gifted and talented'
pupils in years 5 & 6 from local feeder primary schools.

The project aimed to encourage:

• independent learning
• collaborative work
• problem solving
• cross-curricular links

The project was organised into five separate themes:

• body casting
• sensory boxes
• fuzzy felts animation
• light and shadow
• meditative environment

Each theme was organised into vertical age groups with
sixth-former leadership.
