Year 5 - Local History

Local History

Year 5 have spent the morning at Wakefield museum. They used local census records and maps of the district, from the past three hundred years until the present day, to research the local area and how the area and the industries have changed. We also looked at transport links and they have changed over time and we were also able to track the life of one man, from the age of 15 until the age of 65, by using the census records.
