Our Mining Expert

Today, Years 5 and 6 were visited by Rob, a local expert in mining with over forty years’ experience in the industry. We felt truly immersed in the life of a miner in Doncaster as he answered all the children’s brilliant questions and showed us through the range of artefacts he had gathered over his exciting career. It was great how he and the children made connections between our recent visit to Caphouse colliery and the vast number of coal mines in our home city of Doncaster.

This experience really helped to tee up our afternoon of family learning, keep an eye out for the next blog!
