Abbey school walkabout Year 5 pupils from Abbey went on a walk around Shaftsbury on the 3 rd of July. Here’s the route we took.

We started at saint James church.  We walked from our school (the abbey) to st James church next door. We looked around the grave yard and thought about the sights, sounds and smells that we could find. Some people did rubbings of the engraved letters on grave stones. We also thought about the space of the area and what might make it better.

Next raspberry lane… It was cool and shaded It was calm and quiet There weren’t any cars around There were big walls either side of the lane which made it secret and hidden There were pretty flowers on the walls and gave a strong scent. We liked it because……..

Across st johns hills… Its very steep!!! It displays lots of beautiful nature. Cars come down it quite fast so be careful when crossing it or walking up or down it. Things about it. dangers

Down Tanyard lane….. There were some roses at the top which smelt really nice and lovely. There were old fashioned houses, well some of them were. What did we see and what did we like?

Saint James street On saint James street there are lots of old houses There is also a lovely little park on it There aren’t usually many cars at midday. Our school lives on the end.
