3LG fieldwork at Brodsworth Hall

23rd May 2022Lauren Gate

Last week 3LG went on our fieldwork to Brodsworth Hall. We spent the day exploring the gardens, following the statue trail and viewing the house. The children asked lots of amazing questions about Brodsworth Hall and Peter Thellusson and as a result found out lots of exciting facts.

3LG were a credit to the school and numerous members of the public approached myself and Mrs Gracey to tell us how well behaved and polite the children were. They were a great representation of our school and all did themselves proud.

As part of our new expedition Serious About Sugar, Passionate About People 3LG have been investigating the history of sugar and sweets.
