HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall visited Bideford today and were welcomed by a group of our Year 4 children.

Pilton Bluecoat are working on the Beaford Arts project ‘A Voice to Tell Our Story’.

We used the Beaford Archive as inspiration for our story writing, art and storytelling. In class the children were researching local rivers: the Taw and Torridge as part of the ‘Save our World’ topic, so we investigated the photographic archive with them. For literacy they wrote facts about salmon migration, for science they researched the environment, fresh water Pearl mussels, and water pollution… All this came together through creativity with the children writing and illustrating a book. We hope the royals like it, and what an opportunity it was to share this moment together
