Working with Artefacts
In school we understand the importance of artefacts in history. Handling an artefact allows pupils to use their senses, develop questioning and problem-solving skills, strengthen their understanding of a period, and empathise with people from the past.
Year 2 have been learning about the Great Fire of Gateshead. They were amazed by the Victorian iron.
Elder class have been learning about The Felling Pit Disaster. They were looking at different items that miners would have used in the 1800's.
