We went to Birkenhead Park - the blue-print for the world famous Central Park in New York City. We looked at all the features that make a great park. After half-term we will be using this as inspiration to design and make our very own playgrounds in Design and Technology lessons! ### Y6 Park [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_101105.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_101105.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_104846.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_104846.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_110125.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_110125.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_110143.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_110143.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_110636.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_110636.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_110942.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_110942.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_111716.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_111716.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_111741.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_111741.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_111851.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_111851.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_112018.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_112018.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_112757.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_112757.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_112815.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_112815.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_113001.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_113001.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_134528.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_134528.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_140012.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_140012.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_140028.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_140028.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_140645.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_140645.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_142248.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-park/IMG_20240214_142248.jpg) [Year 6](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-6) [DT](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/dt) [SMSC & Cultural Capital](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/smsc-cultural-capital) [Personal Development](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/personal-development) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_1142%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2024-02-14-15-28-22-year-2-online-safety) Previous ### [Year 2 Online Safety](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2024-02-14-15-28-22-year-2-online-safety) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/Designer_(5).png)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2024-02-15-14-18-33-year-5-bringing-our-characters-to-life) Next ### [Year 5 -
