Last Friday we had a surprise visitor to Southwell Pod...
 |
| Ethel told us about the important roles that Southwell's mills had played in the past |
Ethel told us that she was a worker at the Maythorne silk mill. She told us the story of her life - it sounded very hard work! She told us how about the silkworms that were used to produce the silk. The silkworms lived on Mulberry bushes. Ethel told us that some people say there is a Mulberry bush somewhere around Maythorne. We also talked about Greet Lily Flour Mill and how interesting it is to find out about the history of places that we pass every day.
We made pictures using silk screens and paint. We thought about the stories we had heard during Collecting Stories. We each chose to show something different with our silk screens...
