Peter Brown -

history through drama

We spent a week learning about Coal Mining in the past.
We learnt a lot about the local coal mines and visited Woodhorn Colliery. We asked Peter Brown to come into school and do some drama with us.
He taught us some songs and simple dances.
We put together a short drama and after a rehearsal, we did the drama in front of our parents. We told the story of a poor family.

All the children had to work down the pit.

We enjoyed learning about history through drama - it helped the story to come to life.
