Being Historians in our Local Area

Today we continued to be historians, exploring our village of Carcroft. We went on a local walk to see all of the buildings that have changed over time, we had a tick list to find – DFS (which used to be an old pub), Iceland (which used to be a picture house), Coffee corner (Which used to be a chapel) and the old auction room (which used to be a farriers). We noticed and wondered about how any why these buildings changed. Leo suggested that the more people lived in Carcroft so more shops were needed like Iceland and Asda.

We also visited the memorial wheel and did some sketches of it.

On the way back to school we noticed a very peculiar tree, we became scientists and investigated this, it was the workings of the processionary moth.
