September 30, 200916 yr I would like to give some 8 and 9 year olds a really good insight into what Bedlington used to be like. I've found lots of old photos but would love some memories and anecdotes to go with them. I'm thinking about basing it around the themes of- Schools.- Work (Furness bank, old ironworks,The pit(s.)- Transport.- Shops.- Things to do (Humford baths.The miners picnics etc..)I'm not looking at any particular era just keeping it nice and simple as they are only 8.

October 8, 200916 yr Naughty, naughty Ms Hair, what'll Ofsted say about leaving your lesson preparation so late? National Curriculum, Schemes of Work, etc., are supposed to 'button-down' (restrict!) your freedom to do this sort of thing ... you should have had this lesson planned months ago! There's no place to do anything spontaneously.
