The children have had a very full and fun packed day!.... Building a bender tent, exploring the Vardo, dancing Romany style and decorating plates and milk churns.
A very big thank you to Mr Alan Duncalf, Chair of Governors, who again helped the Year 1's in their quest to build the perfect bender tent! We think the above photograph shows their best efforts....
We learnt about the way of life of the Romany Gypsies and experienced the hard work by washing dishes by hand and washing clothes! We also learnt that the boys of the family had to sleep outside either underneath the wagon or inside the bender tent.... The Year 1 boys were not impressed!!
