I Country and Heritage Project

Introduction One of the objectives of the Kerridge Ridge and Ingersley Vale Countryside and Heritage Project (KRIV Project) has been to raise the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awareness of and interest in the history and ecology of the landscape of the project area between Rainow and Bollington. This can include using more formal study of the countryside that may be carried out by primary and young secondary school pupils to trigger what may become a lifelong interest in heritage, the landscape and the environment in general. It is not necessary to travel long distances from the Macclesfield area to find landscapes of great interest and diversity. The KRIV area offers great potential for the teaching of geography, geology, ecology, industrial history and landscape study in general. This education pack has been designed for use by schools for their teaching at Key Stages 1 and 2. It can be used by teachers and leaders of youth groups to help them make the most of the educational potential of the KRIV area. The following pages offer ideas for lessons within the classroom, activities for field trips to the area, potential display materials and links to other local facilities and resources. The pack has been put together for us by Paula Revill with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landscape Partnership Scheme. We would like to thank in particular the Salesians of Don Bosco at Savio House who have provided the KRIV Project Office. They already receive thousands of young people at Savio House (the former Ingersley Hall) for short retreats and personal development courses. Their estate and the surrounding countryside make an ideal outdoor classroom and we plan to develop new training and education facilities there in the future, including a staffed field study centre with teaching facilities and overnight accommodation and catering for educational groups.

Heritage Map: Produced by Phil Kenning in association with KRIV Heritage Project 2007.

Section One - Understanding Background The aim of the KRIV Countryside and Heritage project is to retain and restore industrial heritage features that are found in the local landscape. S

The Kerridge Ridge western slopes are quarried for stone, highlighting the industrial impact on the local landscape. At the northern end of the ridge stands White Nancy overlooking Bollington and the south end of the ridge overlooks Rainow. The historic Gritstone trail (path) runs along part of the length of the ridge top. Ingersley Vale links Rainow and Bollington along the River Dean. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden valleyâ&#x20AC;? is an attractive historic landscape, with many features of the early industrial revolution and the pre-industrial landscape. It hosts modern mills, small woods, meadows, ponds and a criss-cross of footpaths, some with interesting landscape features to be restored.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) & Healthy Schools Status Each KRIV topic / NC Subject area has been linked to one of the eight different doorways of the ESD National Framework. The lesson plans within this pack also have extended lesson ideas to fit these ESD goals, with Healthy School activities also suggested. The extension ideas highlight potential additional class activities, whole school activities and assembly or display ideas. It is hoped that resources for this pack will increase as schools using it make further resources. We ask you to send any new resources made through to the KRIV team. Extra resources will then be available to all local schools and increase the usability of this pack.

Lesson Objectives • explore, develop and communicate aspects of their design by modelling their ideas • plan how to use materials, equipment and processes, and suggest alternative methods of making, if the first attempts fail • evaluate their design ideas, indicating ways of improving their ideas and evaluate the book against the original design criteria

Lesson Activity Focus Area: Savio House • The task is to design and make a storybook with moving parts. The pages of the book are to incorporate mechanisms eg pop-up, sliding parts and linkages. • As a group decide what type of book, number of pages etc to make based on a farming situation. Watch ‘Shaun the Sheep’ for fictional story ideas and dip into ‘Life on a Sheep Farm’ (ISBN-10: 1575051923) for factual information on sheep farming. • Who will use it? What will be their storyline be? Why will moving parts be useful in the story? What type of mechanisms may be included? • The children should make an outline plan with drawing or writing to show who will do each task and the order in which they intend to make the book. • Encourage them to model their ideas eg making paper models of pop-up designs and card strips attached to corrugated card for linkage-type mechanisms. • Evaluate the books in use, highlighting strengths and discussing improvements that could be made. Ask them to compare their products with commercially made ones.

• to try out tools and techniques and apply these to materials and processes. • to review what they and others have done, say what they think and feel about what they might change.

Lesson Activity Focus Area: White Nancy • Visit the Medical Centre to see the two sculptures produced by Alfred Gatley for inspiration. • Ask the children to look out for and note the different stone artefacts during the journey, sculptures that could have been made from local stone. • What colours are they? How do they feel to the touch? What size are they? What do they do / mean? • Ask the children to take photographs or collect materials of the different things that inspire them, make them feel good, make them smile or make them sad. In School or at Savio House Ask the children to create a sculpture of their choosing using the materials they collected. Encourage the children to explore the textures and colours of their materials and the ideas that the materials suggest to them e.g. they see the shape of... they feel the roughness of..... Encourage the children to explore different ways of joining the parts of the sculpture, is this possible, is there a simple way? E.g. glue, pins, staples, string etc. Emphasise sculpture can be temporary. Ask the children to describe what they are making and why, how they are using the materials.

Lesson Links – ESD & Healthy School Whole School - assembly / display (How does the school playground/field make you feel?)

Section 2 – Exploring and Developing Ideas

Alfred Gatley

Lesson Objectives • to explore how to convey the atmosphere and story of a dream. • to collect visual and other information to help them develop their ideas, including using a sketchbook

Lesson Activity In School or at Savio House • Read a section of ‘Alfred Gatley’s Diary and Letterbooks’ as the children try to imagine going back in time to Alfred Gatley’s lifetime and what he might have used as inspiration for his sculptures. • Look at Henry Moore ‘’Three Points’ and Barbara Hepworth ‘Three Forms (Carving in Grey Alabaster)’. What images do they convey? What feelings do they convey? • Using photographs and film sequences show ways of conveying drama, build up of emotion or tension, atmosphere Focus Area: White Nancy Encourage pupils to plan a short dream sequence based around Alfred Gatley. At White Nancy ask pupils to use viewfinders to find interesting and unusual viewpoints. Ask them to draw and photograph these viewpoints, which could be....Looking down, up, around, through, underneath, far or close to. Reflected in different surfaces, eg mirrors, metal, glass or at different times of the day in different weathers. Then using shape, tone and texture in drawing, photography or print making, ask them to represent their scene.

Lesson Objectives

Unit 1 – Dance Activities

Section 1 – Acquiring and Developing Skills

Footpaths

• explore movement ideas and respond imaginatively to a range of stimuli • move confidently and safely in their own and general space, using changes of speed, level and direction

Lesson Activity Focus Area: Cow Lane (Bollington) Take the children up Cow Lane and back around along the Roman road. • Ask the children to copy and explore basic body actions, eg travel, jump, turn, gesture, stillness. Using a range of stimuli seen on their journey, eg words, pictures, sounds and objects, ask them to name a response with different actions for the stimuli they see. • Ask the children to use different parts of the body to respond to stimuli, eg jumping jacks (curled shapes to big jumps), long and wide jumps, wide eyes, wide fingers. In School or at Savio House Teach the children to copy movements and movement patterns, eg follow the leader's walking and skipping patterns. To develop their range of movements, encourage the children to watch and copy other people's dance actions. Help them to change the speed of their movement, eg clowns running fast then tumbling slowly, and the way they make their movements, eg penguins flapping their wings lightly and waddling heavily, then flapping their wings heavily and waddling lightly. Encourage them to move in different directions and at different levels without bumping into other children.

Section 1 – Acquiring and Developing Skills

Footpaths

• explore and create characters and narratives in response to a range of stimuli

Lesson Activity At School or at Savio House • Look at different pictures of local people over time. What were their jobs, how did they travel to their work place? Show a short piece of local film footage or a relevant silent movie of the time. Encourage them to draw on their experience of narrative and character in films, drama, stories etc and ask them to describe the movements used to create humour, horror, suspense, and so on. Focus Area: Cow Lane (Rainow) • Take the children to Cow Lane and back around to Tower Hill and the War Memorial, help them to explore how to use actions, along with dynamic and spatial qualities, to communicate character and narrative, eg expressing the character of people of the past walking these routes, exaggerate and stylise actions and gestures. Would these people have clothes / boots? Would they be carrying anything? Help the children to improvise, using a wide range of actions, dynamics, directions, levels and relationships. Explore different pathways, changing levels, shape and speed. Get the children to re-enact a scene in history based on their own understanding from the range of stimuli previously provided.

Unit 2 – Exploring Sounds

Section 1 – What sounds can we hear?

Ingersley Vale Mill

Lesson Objectives • recognise different sound sources

Lesson Activity At School or at Savio House • Play the children music which uses sound in different ways e.g. fast, slow, loud and quiet. What mood do the sounds make them feel? • Listen to sounds in the classroom and then move out beyond the school. What sounds can you hear? Focus Area: Rainow Mill • Ask the children to describe both sounds that they hear and sounds they remember. Are they loud/quiet, high/low, now and then or all the time? Can they hear water, industry, homes, traffic etc? • Can the children recreate those sounds with their voice, body or items found around them? Record these sounds with a tape for future classroom music lessons. • Take the children along the route Mill Road through the KRIV site to Cow Lane (Bollington). How do the sounds in the different places make them feel? What sounds might they have heard, mill machines, water, people talking etc.

Lesson Links – ESD & Healthy School Whole School - assembly / display Inclusion & Participation: Value difference and diversity, welcoming atmosphere, culture of mutual respect.

Unit 13 – Exploring Sound Colours

Section 1 – How can music describe images and moods?

Cow Lane Mill, Rainow

Lesson Objectives • music, like pictures, can describe images and moods

Lesson Activity At School or at Savio House • Look at a selection of local pictures that give strong impressions of mood. Relate the subject of the picture (place, still life, person, event), to its structure, colours, style. What does it describe? How does it make you feel? What colours do you like and why? • Play the children music that describes an event, scene, person or animal, eg Central Park in the Dark by Charles Ives, On hearing the first cuckoo in spring by Delius, Albatross by Fleetwood Mac, Morning in Peer Gynt by Grieg. • Before telling the children the title or theme of the music, ask them to listen to it and talk about it. What does it make you think about? Does it make pictures in your head? How does it make you feel? • Tell the children the titles of the music they have heard and then ask them to identify specific musical elements and discuss their effectiveness, eg the calm swaying melody of Morning in Peer Gynt, the repetition of the bass line in Albatross. Focus Area: Cow Lane Mill Take the children to Cow Lane and back around to Tower Hill and the War Memorial. Record the sounds they hear on their walk with tapes and record what they are. How could these sounds be used in music? Re-listen to the taped sounds, what mood do they give when taken out of context, can the children guess what it was? Give the children a number of instruments and objects to make sounds; can they recreate what they heard on their field trip? Can they make new sounds to describe a mood or feeling?
