Year 6 have been looking at the London Docklands as part of their History topic and also to tie in with London History Day. The Year 6 children looked at old maps and photographs of the Docklands area comparing how it looked in the past to the way that it looks today.
Year 6 also discussed the types of jobs available to Londoners on the Docklands, the Docklands slang as it was known then and how things have changed in the past century.
The children then created some wonderful 3D models of the London Docklands both during the Blitz bombings of WW2 and how it looks in the present time. The children did some amazing work on this very interesting and challenging project. They thoroughly enjoyed the investigative approach to this task.
