An Oxfordshire school is appealing for help to enable students to complete a rather unusual history project. For ten months, pupils at Sibford Junior School have been building a Celtic roundhouse — but they have run out of reeds to finish the thatched roof.
Ali Bromhall, school community development officer, said: “We had hoped to finish the roundhouse before the end of the summer term, but, unfortunately, we’ve come to a halt. If anyone has any thatching materials they could let us have, it would be great.
“We don’t need a lot — it’s just the tip of the roof that’s left exposed, but it would be wonderful to be able to complete the project.”
Anyone who can help with reeds should call Ali Bromhall on 01295 781216 or email abromhall@ sibfordschool.co.uk
