Project in Practice

Education Consultant: Janette Hilton, Living History North East
Participant School: Hill View Junior School
Key Stage: 2
Project Period: 2009

This school project aimed to explore the east end of Sunderland; comparing Victorian time with present. Year 5 (ages 9 – 10) pupils were involved in History, Geography, Art and photography-based workshops, and also enjoyed the Victorian classroom experience at the Old Donnison School.

The project was based on academic research by Dr Gillian Cookson (for the EPE paperback Sunderland: Building a City), and the resources of Living History North East.
