| The
Best Park in Town! - Shaftesbury
Primary School, Newham |
|
| Year
Three children at Shaftesbury
Primary School, in West Ham, spent
more than a month getting familiar
with West Ham Park, which is just
a short walk away from their school.
They visited the park several
times, learning about the trees
there, and watching a puppet show
in the playground. They
also used the website to find
out a lot about the history of
the park. In the eighteenth
century, the land belonged to
a famous botanist, Dr Fothergill,
who made a botanic garden there,
which was more famous than Kew
Gardens. To complete their
project the children in the three
classes made up plays about the
park's history, and wrote raps
about what a wonderful place the
park was. |
