Pineapples grew in Hitchin?
Year 1 have been learning about the history of Hitchin and in particular The Priory. In the 18th Century John Radcliffe built a hothouse inside The Priory to grow a variety of exotic fruits including pineapples. On our local visit to The Priory, we sketched the building and created a journey map with natural resources found in the grounds of The Priory. It was a great morning despite the rain and a excellent way to bring our learning to life.
