Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and Museum
Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway and Museum Resources and activities for Primary Schools Theme 2: Ingenuity - building the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Contents Page STEM Lit Art Hist Navvies 4 x x x A day in the life of a steam engine driver 7 x x x The remarkable Mary fair 12 x x x Ratty people saving the railway 16 x Strong structures at the railway 21 x Bridge building challenge 25 x Structures and bridges teacher 28 x information Introduction Ingenuity is an important theme at the Ravenglass Railway Museum. Alongside the science-based resources, these session explore the ingenuity of ‘Ratty People’; the characters who have worked on the railway and in some cases still do. In this series of activities, children investigate how the railway was built and look in more detail at strong structures. During a visit to the railway, children look for examples of strong structures and then back at school develop their understanding of structures to tackle a bridge-building challenge. 2 Curriculum ideas Investigating the Navvies who built the railway has links with the history curriculum (a local study) and also gives opportunities for exploring literacy. The practical activities allow children to practise design, refine and make skills in design technology and illustrate forces and gravity from the science curriculum. Wider curriculum connections can be made by researching information about bridges in different parts of the world. Facts about the bridges, such as height and span, can lead into numerical comparisons and representations. Changes in bridge design and capabilities over time can be interpreted in the light of the available materials and technology. -

Muncaster Parish Plan
MUNCASTER PARISH PLAN September 2007 Foreword Fellow Parishioners, The Muncaster Parish Plan was made possible by funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) through Voluntary Action Cumbria (VAC) and the willingness, dedication and commitment of members of the Parish Council to take on the task of producing it. So what is the Parish Plan and what is its purpose? Make known those issues that affect our community Identify and prioritise key issues within our community Produce an action plan to promote the changes that the community wants to see at local, district and county levels. Quite simply the plan gives everyone in our community an opportunity and a feel for what you the Parishioner wants. This process started by members of the Parish Council approaching all the groups and businesses within the Parish to ascertain specific ideas and questions that they wished to have included within the questionnaire. This proved to be a worth while exercise and gave us a real feel for how the plan would be shaped and received. Once the questionnaire was formulated, distributed to you and returned a long data-input process ensued and enabled us to extrapolate the information contained within. This document is a summary of the information gathered and the proposed actions to be taken. Details of the questionnaire responses and analysis of the data are available upon request to the Parish Clerk. The results of those processes are contained within this Plan and I commend it to you; after all it is YOUR plan and as such is owned by the Parish. -

Context The world of work is becoming increasingly complex and there is more pressure for young people to make important decisions about progression pathways and career goals earlier in their education. It is essential that the students of Millom School are equipped to take on these challenges. Effective careers education, information, advice and guidance across all key stages is fundamental to achieving this. The DfE’s statutory guidance 2017 [1] quotes: “Every child should leave school prepared for life in modern Britain. This means ensuring academic rigour supported by excellent teaching, and developing in every young person the values, skills and behaviours they need to get on in life. All children should receive a rich provision of classroom and extra-curricular activities that develop a range of character attributes, such as resilience and grit, which underpin success in education and employment. High quality, independent careers guidance is also crucial in helping pupils emerge from school more fully rounded and ready for the world of work. Young people want and need to be well-informed when making subject and career decisions.” The Gatsby Foundation’s report into ‘Good Career Guidance’, which was a comprehensive piece of research collating best practice careers advice and guidance across secondary schools in the UK but also in six other countries, where careers guidance is considered ‘good’ [2], identified 8 benchmarks of good careers guidance. -
