A day back at school.

Post by JBM »

My farmer friend and I were invited to a local South Gloucestershire school to give a talk to the children who were making a study of their local history.

We covered 4 classes between us and the children were very surprised at what we took along.

I took a chance and let them handle any of the finds and all of them were returned without a problem.

Certainly when we had finished they all realised the importance of both their local and our National history is and just as we were passing some to them they in turn would be able to to so for future generations.

They were very knowledgable with regards their written local history but actually handling finds was the icing on the cake for them. :g50: Jerry.

All the children were very well hehaved indeed.

Put their hands up and waited their turn with questions.

I would be very pleased to do the same again for any similiar school. Jerry. :g50:
