Our Year 4 pupils enjoyed an amazing visit to Villa Park, which was to celebrate 150 of Aston Villa Football club. The event was based around the history of the football club as well as the history of the local community.
Before arriving at Villa Park we had a guided tour, talking about the historical areas that we saw on our route. This included the local mosque, Aston Manor Hall and Aston Park. Whilst at Villa Park we took part in a range of activities such as, history of Aston Villa FC, seeing the premier league trophy and a stadium tour. The children all stated that they enjoyed the trip to Villa Park with one child stating, “It was the best day of my life!”.
Following on from this extraordinary experience at Villa Park, we were visited in school by a member of the Aston Villa FC staff. This session focused on cleaning up the local community and the children designed posters to stick around the school.
