30/09/2009 by James.

Yesterday we were back in school, with the children and their parents making collages, either on paper or recycled polythene. We were discussing our experiences at Stonehenge last week, looking at a plan and aerial photos of the area, and starting to imagine what the whole landscape might look like from the air.
The families used marker pens, wool, string and found objects to define boundaries, draw paths, and map out the circular barrows.

Laura (Salis Museum’s Ed Officer, with whom I’m running the sessions), had found some postcards of Stonehenge from the two world wars, written by soldiers based at Bulford Camp, just like these children’s parents, with messages to their own wives and children.

Next week we are all back on the minibus - heading back to Stonehenge to explore the stones themselves…
