We have been using the laptops today to look at maps. Using a piece of sofware called ‘Digimaps’ we have been looking at Pontesbury, Shrewsbury and Birmingham. We have shaded in all the built up areas of each place and then compared their growth from the 1950’s and even back to the 1890’s!

The children discovered that although Pontesbury still feels quite small and we still call it a village, it certainly has grown…alot!
