21st April 2023
This week we have been thankful for the lovely weather as several classes have been exploring the local area. Rowan Class walked from school, along the Four Barrows and all the way to Liddington Warren Farm. At the end of the walk, they enjoyed a talk from Mr Ford on crop production. Thank you, Mr Ford.
Cherry and Elder classes have explored the village with Aldbourne Heritage Society to understand the history of local buildings and areas, with a particular focus on how entertainment has changed over the years. We are so grateful to the Aldbourne Heritage Society for sharing local history with the children. Click on the photo for more detail on our School Blog.
