Balloon Race
One of our balloons that were released on Sports Day, 4th July, has made its way all the way to Northumberland!
The lady that found the balloon returned the ticket with a letter;
Hello St Mary's R C School,
I am returning this balloon ticket which I found in the Cheviot Hills. This balloon probable hasn't travelled the furthest, but it certainly landed in a very beautiful and interesting place.
The ticket was on Ring Chesters - the site of a hillfort, near Elsdenburn Farm and Hethpool. When I discovered the tickent it was surrounded by a group of sheep. They were scratching their heads and looking puzzled. As sheep are not too hot in the reading and writing department I offered to send it back to your school.
It might be worth having a look on the internet/google etc. to see what you find out about Ring Chesters and the Cheviots.
