The group of Y5’s had a fabulous day out at Blondell Park. We worked with members of the foundation, who took us on a tour and told us some of the match day secrets and the history of the ground. We also got to meet an author, with whom we created and performed a football themed poem before being gifted some of his books. To top off the day we had a photo in the middle of the pitch – joined by one of the Grimsby Town players – before a Q&A with Doug before returning to school.
All the children were really enthusiastic about both the football and the literacy and it opened our eyes to see how the two can be mixed.
