🪨🏹 Year 3 Step Back in Time at Edgmond Hall! 🏹🪨 On Monday, our Year 3 children enjoyed an exciting visit to Edgmond Hall, where they brought their History learning to life through a range of engaging Stone Age activities. The visit provided a fantastic opportunity for children to deepen their knowledge and understanding of this fascinating period through practical, hands-on experiences. We are incredibly proud of how well our children represented Temple Meadow Primary School throughout the day. A huge thank you to our staff and parent volunteers for helping make this memorable experience possible. 🌟
