Dazzling boatsCastledown pupils enjoy an art class on beach
The Year 5 pupils spent the day with Jaye learning about Dazzle camouflage, sketching the boats found on Hastings seafront and then adding their own patterns to create Dazzle Ships. Dazzle camouflage was a technique used in World War One and Two to make it harder to determine the speed, heading and target of a ship. Complex patterns of geometric shapes and contrasting colours dazzled and mislead the opposition, hence reducing their accuracy in firing. Teacher Cherie Saunders, said: “It was a fantastic opportunity. Both classes were a credit to the school and we would like to thank Jaye for a marvellous day.”
