Members of the Family & Social History Group were delighted to be invited to meet with Year 4 pupils from Gilwern primary school who were working on a project exploring how the past shapes our community today. The pupils engaged enthusiastically with Gilwern’s history, and it was a pleasure to share some of our knowledge with them and talk about what it was like being a child when we were young and how it is now. I was then invited back to the school last week to view the finished work which was excellent. We were all impressed by their understanding and creativity and the very thoughtful questions they asked.
This is a small selection of the photographs of the completed project, which hopefully reflects the high standard of their work. Many thanks to Mrs Beth Welford for the invitation to take part in this worthwhile project and to Pat Hillman and Hazel Stockham for their valuable input.
