All Around Us Week


What a fantastic week we've had in Class 1!

We've been looking at the history of our Marston Thorold's Charity School and thinking of our Tercentenary coming up in July.

We've been writing about the Victorian part of the school being built in 1716.




There was no central heating of course, just fires.
The 2 fireplaces in the 2 original classrooms are blocked in now.





The new build was added on in 2004.




Class 1 was part of this.






The new Reception Room was converted from a cloakroom in 2016.





We had two members of staff who were pupils at this school to tell us all about their schooling. The Good Old Days! Time to sew, garden, build sheds.So interesting!
Not so keen on the cane though!

The whole school has been working with a textile artist to make a new banner for the school.








Class 1 also went to St. Mary's Church to look at the war memorial, the links with the Thorold family and do some painting and sketching.








Have a Happy Half Term everyone!
