Pupils have been working on a project to bring information on the ancient Ridgeway footpath to mobile phone and computer users.
Holy Trinity Primary School in Great Cheverell was invited to take part in the project by Wiltshire College and the boys and girls have produced artwork and sound bites for an “app”, which could be available later in the year.
One of its functions will be to display pictures on smartphones linked to the GPS system, as users walk along the Ridgeway.
Head teacher Mercedes Henning said: “The project involves contributions from many different organisations and will include artwork, soundscapes and expert views.
“Our children will provide artwork and also some short sound bites on what it might have been like on the Ridgeway in Neolithic times.
“Examples of this work will be put online, on the county webpage for the Ridgeway project and some examples will be part of the Location Aware phone app, which can be accessed by walkers along the Ridgeway.
“We are always delighted to be part of projects that involve the wider community – and give our children great experiences as well.”
The school received a visit from Richard White, of Wiltshire College, on Monday, who recorded sound bites from the children.
