You are invited to… Old School Learning

4th June 2014

You are invited to come along to an ‘Old School Learning’ event at Sidmouth College on Tuesday 10th June, 10:30 – 12:00.

Step into the classroom of today and see how things have changed, take part in an intergenerational reminiscence session (complete with slate, chalk, plastercine, old school reports and a cane), hear from some former Sidmouth College teachers and play some traditional playground games.

This event is being coordinated by the group of Sidmouth College student Dementia Friends. If you’d like to know more, please call Angela Thompson from Sid Valley Memory Cafe on 01395 577394.
