Last week the Ascension Explorers visited Cross Hill and the guns.

The children began the morning in Georgetown where they climbed the hill and steps to the old site of the Commodore’s Cottage.  Here the children took in the views and had a close look at the cannons.  They worked together to fill in their activity sheets and answer questions about the guns and historical buildings in Georgetown.  They had great fun exploring the guns from the HMS Hood before returning to Georgetown.
