Know Your Place: Part Three - Doorstep History

Please note that the date of this session is to be confirmed but it will be a Friday in Autumn I term.

This session is part of a series of workshops for primary school teachers based in Sheffield who want to help their children know more about the place where they live and their local heritage. This workshop will focus on how to explore the heritage around your school's location.

• Exploring change over time using a bespoke map and aerial photograph pack created for your school. See how your own school area has changed.
• Discover how to find buildings, sites and stories on your school doorstep.
• Hidden in Plain Sight- the street furniture which tell us a lot about changes in technologies and societies.
• Exploring who lived on your school doorstep. Using census returns and local trade directories
• Creating your own school’s very own heritage trail.
• Engaging with the National Heritage List – practical and meaningful community activities for your school.
• If you have attended all three sessions, then you will receive a free resource pack centred on your school with maps, digital resources and photos to take away
• Learn more about how Sheffield Heritage Organisations can support you to build place-based learning into your curriculum.
• Times and content subject to change.
