Class 8 visitor and more classroom immersion
The children have drawn some fantastic coloured pencil sketches of landmarks in Thorne. They have looked at the lines and shapes and added detail to the buildings. I am really impressed with the effort that they went to. They have also drawn some of the logos of places that they see in Thorne.
On top of that, we have had a visit from a fantastic Doncaster author called Phillip Sheppard who has shared some of his stories and shown us his sketch book. He was a great expert to have in school who knows a lot about the history of Doncaster. We will be using his books throughout this expedition!
