A Bristol pensioner wanted nothing more than to have a day back at her primary school to relive those happy years. This week Sheila Pope’s wish came true when she was taken back to Fonthill Primary Academy - 75 years after she had left.
As part of their 'wishing tree' initiative, the We Care UK team at Trymview Hall care home in Southmead Road decided to make Sheila’s wish a reality, after taking note about how often she spoke fondly about days at the primary school.
The team arranged for 85-year-old Sheila to take a tour of the school and to meet some current pupils. While she was there, Sheila spoke to the children about her own experiences of the school, while she also learned about how much things have changed over 70 odd years.
