The school has extensive grounds and in woodland they built a Bronze Age Round House, with help from Butser Ancient Farm and is part of the school's outdoor learning programme, says Clare Morphew, Head of History, talking to Mike Waddington.

The thatched roof now needs some major TLC so they are appealing for a Petersfield expert to help.

Clare talks about why this is aa useful learning experience for the children, who may visit the Barrows on The Heath.

There was a particular enthusiasm for the mud (and other ingredients ...) daubing, delicately explained by Clare.

All part of a hands-on Head of History's time.
