Visit to Classes 1 and 2 by the Clavering History Society
On Wednesday 7th November Sally and Joy visited Classes 1 and 2 as part of our topics on the local area and our school. Sally gave a PowerPoint presentation showing the history of Clavering primary school, which in the past was known as the Bottom School as it was for the younger children. We learnt that there has been a primary school in Clavering for 200 years but that the school building had been in different sites around the village. Joy had brought in some slates and examples of the dresses girls would have worn in the past. The children enjoyed trying writing on the slates and a couple of the girls tried on the dresses. The children were given photographs of school children in the past, which they put into a timeline. Both classes found the talk very interesting and learnt a lot about the history of our school. Thank you to both Sally and Joy for taking the time to research the history of our school and sharing it with us.
