Key Stage 1
Shape and Space Maths and Science Trail
The architecture of the cathedral lends itself perfectly to a shape and space trail. Children explore the cathedral to find familiar and not so familiar 3D and 2D shapes and spaces.
Additionally, they look at the tower from the outside and wonder what keeps it standing, then they look at the arches that are underneath the tower inside the cathedral. They learn that Hereford Cathedral once had 2 towers, but one fell down, and that the supporting arches of the remaining tower had to be rebuilt to stop that one falling down too.
Additionally, the children build a model of the cathedral out of chunky, 3D wooden puzzles that have been purpose made by attendees at the St. Owen Centre in Hereford.
Duration: 1 hour.
Price: £2.50
