Year 3 took a trip to the Head of Steam in Darlington. Whilst there, we investigated jobs and people from Darlington and their roles during WW1. We looked at secondary sources to discover evidence and build profiles about individual people. We also tried on replica hats and arm bands which would have been worn during that time.
We also had fun looking around the museum for clues about WW1 and the railway. We saw shells made on North Road, clothing worn by individuals, Christmas cards sent during the war and 2236 poppies stitched to commemorate those who worked for the North Eastern Railway Company and gave their lives in the war. We had an excellent time and learnt lots of interesting facts!
