This term, the children at St John's Infants' School have been learning about All Things Glastonbury.

Their curriculum has been all about where they live, including the world famous festival which happens each year in this glorious part of our country.

Recently, Key Stage One children had a very important visitor. Michael Eavis had been sent a letter, written by two pupils, inviting him to come and answer the children's questions about the Glastonbury Festival.

The children had composed their questions in their literacy lesson, which gave them a real purpose for writing.

They were amazed to discover that at the first festival 1,000 people came and last year 200,000 people attended.

They were also happy to find out that the cows are well looked after and go to their Mootel while the festival is on.

The children were subsequently invited to the festival site to be given a guided tour on a coach, by Michael Eavis, to see the farm in winter time.

They have been invited to return in June to see the site just before the festival begins to see the contrast in the landscape and to research some ideas for their own school festival in the summer term.

The children have also experienced this term being tour guides for their parents in Glastonbury Abbey and have used technology to create a green screen article.

This involved using photography, screensaving pictures from the internet, filming each other and collating the different facts to create their own news article.

Children have worked in mixed ability groups and shown perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. They have really enjoyed watching themselves presenting on screen.
