Teacher:
Our project has been a wonderful opportunity to learn more about John King and the miners of Pinxton. The children joined in with a variety of experiences to help them think about what it would be like to work underground all day. The children enjoyed taking photographs and showing everyone their art work on the interactive whiteboard.

The project was a huge success. Our aim was to be wholly creative, and that is just what we did. This project was a wonderful indulgence! All the children and adults involved delved deep into their imaginations. It was a project enjoyed by all and the learning was extensive.
