Woodthorpe Church of England Primary School

Long Ago

In the Long Ago project the children will learn about their history and how they have changed from when they were babies. They will learn about their family history and heritage and find out what life was like when their grandparents were children. They will learn about what it was like to go to school in the past and how everyday objects, such as clothes, toys and vehicles have changed. We will also focus on some well known fairy tales from long ago.

We will hold our first 'Stay and Play' session, where we will invite Grandparents in for the afternoon.
