TEN YEARS AGO: Skegness pupils’ lesson in ‘our county’
After learning about ‘Our Town’ in the previous term, pupils at Skegness Junior School had expanded their horizons to Lincolnshire 10 years ago.
The whole school was involved in the ‘Our County’ project. Year Three pupils, for instance, designed and made a Viking long boat; in Year Four, children created their own Tudor houses, while in Year Five, they made Lincolnshire food.
There were prizes of Lego sets for the best efforts.
Pupils are pictured with some of their work and (back, from left) Hilary Barnes and Gill Ridlington, from New Linx Housing Trust, which sponsored the Lego sets, and (front, from left) Mark Anderson, chairman of the governors and John Boazman, chairman of New Linx Housing Trust.
