About history week in the school

Answer:
what you do in last week in school
In January, we completed our first Local History Week. Each year group was given a question about Hartlepool in the early 1900s and asked to find out how the town has grown and developed over the last 100 years. We learnt lots about the area we live in, including what our own streets looked like, defence in the war and what industries were important to the town’s success.
Once the week was over, we held two sharing assemblies, where children from each year group stood up and presented what they had found out. This gave the whole school a chance to know a little more by learning from their peers.
Work has been celebrated in the main hall and some year 6 children put on a dramatization of ‘The Hartlepool Monkey Hanging’. We felt very proud to live in Hartlepool.
Year 6
During Local History Week, our Year 6 cohort carried out their own research and used a range of sources to formulate questions and have provided reasons as to how Hartlepool has developed due to the shipbuilding industry. They have formed some excellent comparisons between the past and modern day.
