Year 5 have begun a project on Victorian Keighley.
Year 5 pupils are starting a project on Victorian Keighley. They are using copies of documents, photographs, maps and original objects from the time as part of this project.
They will learn what it was like to be a child in Keighley during Victorian times and find out what the local area was like between 1837 and 1901.
When the weather is a bit better the class will go on a history walk around the area. Mr Devlin and Mr Moorhouse will take them into town and back and talk to the class about lots of Victorian buildings that we can still see.
Last year we went on this walk. There are Victorian postboxes, a Victorian Cemetery remains of a Victorian Slum and lots of mills and factories from the Victorian period very close to school. There was also a hospital and a reservoir near Our Lady of Victories that Year 5 will learn about in their project.
Here are some photographs from last years History trail.
