Celebrating Ednam Primary’s past and present!

I spent a wonderful afternoon celebrating Ednam Primary’s 100 year anniversary since the opening of their school building.  The pupils had researched their school and what life was like in their village and in the wider world during a visit to the Heritage Hub.

From their research and requests for help from the school to local people they produced……

a wonderful display with help from the hub, museums and local community

a song about their school

and they worked with artist Jane Gaze to produce commemorative stones with their names on in the school Garden (Picture: Ednam’s Headteacher in Edwardian Dress showing me the commemorative stones).

For the afternoon Joanna the car was invited along and was centre of attention!

It was lovely to get ‘hello’s’ from the pupils who visited the hub and couldn’t wait to tell me what was their favourite thing out of all the things they learnt about during their research.

Oh, and we had a lovely cake produced by one of the parents at the school!

Well done Ednam Primary! You should be very proud!
