This term we are Urban Pioneers!

We are exploring our town. This week we went on a Magical History Tour of Aberdare. Mr Cooke who was a Deputy Head of our school came with us. He loves History and told us lots of amazing facts.

We visited St. John's Church. Did you know it is the oldest church in Aberdare? It was built in 1189. It is very beautiful. Father Robert let us go inside. Some of the original features are still there today.

Mr Cooke told us that lots of people are buried in St Johns Church - under the church and in the grounds. The more important you were then the closer you would be buried to the church. Mr Cooke found bones when he was employed to put a new floor in the church!

The new floor.

We looked at the tombstones in the grounds of St John's Church. Mr Cooke told us about David Davis. We visited his grave and read the tombstone. We want to find out more.

There are lots of interesting buildings and monuments in Aberdare. We visited some of them and we can decide which monuments we would like to find out about.

Then we went to Aberdare Park. There is a lot we want to find out about!

We had fun running around the stones but why are the stones here?

There are also other interesting features in Aberdare Park.

We also think there are lots of things to do in Aberdare and we want to tell the world! We are going to make leaflets to attract young people to our town. Watch this space to see the leaflets!

We saw a lot of graffiti on our walk and we weren't impressed!

But we know that some places have walls that allow artists to show off their talent. We want to decide if graffiti is art or vandalism.
