This morning the children will be studying the art and science of cartography. As the country is fast transforming in to a sparsely populated and barbaric wilderness haunted by trolls and worse, we will be drawing a map of our surrounding area in the stile of J. R. R. Tolkien and taking inspiration from his accounts of Middle Earth. Aspects of PSHE and Citizenship will also be covered by noting the whereabouts of such important community facilities such as super markets, food warehouses, sources of good drinking water, natural defensive points and potential locations where a system of warning beacons might be built. My thanks to Mathew Street for the inspiration for today's lesson and I cordially extend the offer of Chair of School Governors to him in thanks.
