“Each year group immersed themselves in a different historical era ranging from the Stone Age and Egyptians era through to the First World War and all the way up to the 1960s,” said the primary school.
“These included activities such as archaeological digs, Stone Age cave art, re-enacting Roman battles, creating Egyptian mask, Re-enacting World War One battle sights and exploring 1960s playground toys and games.
“The school places great importance in making subjects engaging and fun and this was a great example of this.
“The children immersed themselves in the period they were studying and this allowed them to take an active part in their learning.
“They had a fabulous week full of excitement and learning.”
The children are photographed outside the new school’s new building, nearing completion, ready to accommodate more students as the village and school expands.
