Our fieldtrip to Dibden Purlieu

Year 1 had a fantastic time on their very first walk into Dibden Purlieu! As part of their mission from the Hughes family, the children set out on a fieldwork trip to explore the local area and find out what shops our village has to offer. Full of excitement, they interviewed friendly shopkeepers, asked brilliant questions, and discovered all sorts of interesting facts. It was a great hands-on learning experience—and the perfect way to help the Hughes family decide if Dibden Purlieu could be their new home!
