In Years 3 and 4 we have been really enjoying our Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age
topic. We enjoyed a great afternoon out exploring the hillfort settlement at
Lordenshaws. We were joined by local historian and member of the local archaeology
society: Mrs Butterworth, who guided us around the site. She showed us the different
entrances to the hillfort, the storehouse locations, where the roundhouse would have
been, a bronze age cist and of course the famous rock art! The children asked some
thoughtful questions and made some interesting observations about the site. They all
agreed that the bracken would have made very comfy bedding!

We are pleased to inform everyone that we have appointed Helen Curry as our new Teaching Assistant.Ā We are delighted to have Helen joining us and she will be a huge asset to the school team.
